GS Renovation designs and builds kitchens across Parsons Green, from compact galley layouts in the terraces near the green to wide open-plan kitchen-diners. With over 30 years in SW6 and across Hammersmith and Fulham, we handle the cabinetry, worktops, plumbing, electrics and any structural work together, so the whole kitchen is delivered by one team.
Open-plan kitchen-diners in Parsons Green
The signature Parsons Green kitchen project opens the rear of the terrace, knocking the kitchen through into the middle reception or filling the side return to create a bright, sociable kitchen-diner facing the garden. Because that dividing wall is almost always load-bearing, we install a steel beam sized by a structural engineer and signed off by building control, then build the new kitchen into the wider footprint.
In these SW6 homes we plan the layout around the closet wing, the chimney breast and the run of glazing at the rear, keeping sightlines to the garden clear. Islands, breakfast bars and banquette seating all work well once the wall is out, and we route the plumbing, extraction and electrics through the new structure so everything is tidy and hidden.
Bespoke fitted kitchens for SW6 terraces
Victorian and Edwardian terraces near the green come with alcoves, chimney breasts and tall ceilings that suit made-to-measure cabinetry far better than off-the-peg units. We design fitted kitchens that use the awkward corners of a Parsons Green house properly, from tall larder runs to bench seating in a bay, whether you want a classic Shaker look or a handleless contemporary finish.
We supply and template worktops in quartz, granite or composite, integrate the appliances, and handle the tiling, lighting and the notifiable electrical work under building regulations. Everything, from first-fix plumbing to the final splashback, is carried out by our own team, so the kitchen comes together cleanly in an occupied SW6 home.
Islands, walkways and workable dimensions
An island is the most requested feature in an SW6 kitchen and the one most often squeezed in where it does not fit. The dimensions that matter are the gaps around it. Around a metre of clear walkway lets one person pass a closed drawer comfortably; a little more is needed on the side where an appliance door opens, since a dishwasher door and an open oven can meet across a narrow gap and block the room entirely.
Seating adds its own requirements. An overhang of roughly three hundred millimetres is needed for knees at a breakfast bar, and it has to be supported if the worktop is stone. If the room cannot give that up, a peninsula attached to one run, or a table set at the end of the units, delivers the same sociable arrangement without the pinch points. We set this out full size on the floor in tape before anything is ordered.
