GS Renovation designs and fits kitchens across Sidcup, from compact galley kitchens in 1930s semis to large open-plan spaces in interwar detached homes. With over 30 years of experience in DA15 and the wider Bexley borough, we handle the cabinetry, worktops, plumbing, electrics and any structural work as one coordinated project from start to finish.
Open-plan kitchen-diners in Sidcup semis
The classic Sidcup kitchen project removes the wall between the original galley kitchen and the rear dining room of a 1930s semi to create a single open-plan kitchen-diner. That dividing wall usually carries load, so we install a steel beam sized by a structural engineer and signed off by Bexley Council building control, giving you the wide, sociable space the generous interwar footprint allows.
With the structure open, we plan the new layout around light and flow, then fit quality units, integrated appliances and durable worktops in quartz, granite or composite. All the plumbing, electrics, tiling and lighting are handled in-house, and the notifiable electrical work is certified under building regulations, so the finished kitchen is safe, compliant and built to last.
Bespoke fitted kitchens for interwar homes
Interwar Sidcup houses have their own proportions, with chimney breasts, alcoves and side returns that rarely suit a rack of standard units. We design fitted and bespoke kitchens made to measure for the room, so the cabinetry fits the walls you actually have and the awkward corners become useful storage rather than wasted space.
From handleless contemporary designs to classic Shaker styles, we build to suit the age and feel of the house and the way you cook. Worktops are templated and fitted precisely, appliances are properly integrated, and the lighting is planned to work for both preparing food and relaxing. One team runs the whole job, so the design, the services and the finish all come together cleanly.
Utility space and the back door
A 1930s Sidcup semi usually has a side door into the kitchen, sometimes through a small lobby or an old larder, and how you use that space decides how good the kitchen can be. Moving the washing machine, the tumble dryer and the coats out into a utility off that lobby buys back a run of units and takes the noisiest appliances out of the room you sit in.
The plumbing normally suits it, since the drainage is already on that side of the house. It needs its own ventilation, and a dryer wants either a vent to outside or a condensing model. Where there is no lobby, a tall cupboard with a stacked washer and dryer does much the same job. We look at where the boots, bins and shopping actually land when you come in from the drive, because that is what a back door area has to cope with.
