GS Renovation designs and builds kitchens throughout Paddington, from the lower-ground floors of Regency townhouses to the reception levels of converted W2 homes. With more than 30 years of experience in Westminster, we handle the cabinetry, worktops, services and any structural knock-through as a single, coordinated project.
Open-plan kitchen-diners in Paddington townhouses
The kitchen many Paddington owners want opens the rear of a period townhouse into one bright, sociable kitchen-diner. Because the dividing wall is usually load-bearing in these solid-walled homes, we install a steel beam sized by a structural engineer, bearing onto padstones and signed off by building control. The result gives a Georgian or Regency house the open living space it was never originally built to provide.
Lower-ground and semi-basement kitchens are common in W2, where head height and natural light are limited. We plan the layout, ventilation and lighting around those constraints, and manage any party wall notices where a knock-through affects the shared wall with the neighbouring townhouse. The plumbing, electrics, tiling and the beam itself are all handled in-house, so the structural and the decorative work stay on one programme.
Bespoke fitted kitchens for Paddington homes
The alcoves, chimney breasts and tall ceilings of Paddington's period houses suit made-to-measure cabinetry far better than standard units. We build kitchens to fit the real dimensions of the room, whether that means an in-frame Shaker design for a Regency interior or a handleless, contemporary scheme. Worktops in quartz, granite or composite finish the units, chosen to suit both the look and the daily wear of a busy home.
Integrating appliances, running new plumbing and electrics and fitting considered lighting all form part of the work, and notifiable electrical work is certified under building regulations. We coordinate deliveries on Westminster's controlled parking streets and keep the room usable for as long as possible during the fit. The finished kitchen respects the proportions of the period house while working hard as a modern space.
