GS Renovation designs and builds kitchens throughout Pimlico, from the lower-ground kitchens of Regency terraces to open-plan rear rooms in SW1 townhouses. With over 30 years in Westminster's Georgian, period and listed homes, we handle bespoke cabinetry, worktops, appliances and any structural knock-through as one accountable project from design to final tiling.
Open-plan kitchen-diners in Pimlico terraces
The kitchen many Pimlico owners want opens the rear of the house into a bright kitchen-diner facing the garden. In these solid-walled Regency terraces the wall being removed is load-bearing, so we install a steel beam sized by a structural engineer, bearing onto padstones and signed off by building control. Where that wall is shared with a neighbour, a party wall notice comes first. We manage the structure and the new kitchen together.
Once the opening is formed, we fit the kitchen properly, running new plumbing, electrics, ventilation and lighting through the reconfigured space. Quartz, granite or composite worktops sit on cabinetry built to suit the room, and we integrate appliances so the finish stays clean. Handling the beam and the fit-out under one team means the whole knock-through, from staged demolition to final tile, is delivered without gaps between trades.
Bespoke kitchens for Pimlico period proportions
Pimlico's period kitchens rarely suit off-the-shelf units. Tall ceilings, chimney breasts, alcoves and shutters call for made-to-measure cabinetry that works with the room rather than fighting it. We design in-frame and handleless kitchens alike, planning the layout, lighting and ventilation around the awkward corners and the reduced light found in lower-ground SW1 kitchens, so the space feels considered and genuinely usable day to day.
In listed homes and conservation-area terraces, we keep the kitchen sympathetic to the building, avoiding damage to protected joinery and routing services discreetly. From classic Shaker designs that echo the age of the house to sharp contemporary schemes, we build the cabinetry, fit the worktops and handle the plumbing, electrics and tiling in-house. The kitchen electrics are notifiable under building regulations, and we take care of that certification.
