Kitchen Renovation Soho

GS Renovation designs and builds kitchens across Soho and the W1 postcode, from compact flat kitchens to open-plan kitchen-diners in the area's bay-fronted Victorian and Edwardian terraces. With more than 30 years in Westminster, we handle the cabinetry, worktops, plumbing, electrics and any structural knock-through as a single project, so the whole room is finished by one team.

Open-plan kitchen-diners in Soho terraces

The signature Soho kitchen project opens the rear of the terrace, knocking the kitchen through to the closet wing or middle room to make a bright, sociable kitchen-diner. That dividing wall is almost always load-bearing, so we install a steel beam sized by a structural engineer and signed off by building control. Where the side return is filled in as part of the work, the room widens as well, gaining the floor space these terraces otherwise lack.

We fit quality units, quartz, granite or composite worktops, integrated appliances and layered lighting, planning the layout around the solid-wall construction and the tight rear footprint typical of Soho. Plumbing and electrics are run in first fix, tiling and splashbacks go on once the units are set, and the notifiable electrical work is certified under building regulations. You end up with a kitchen that suits both the period house and the way you cook and entertain.

Bespoke fitted kitchens for Soho homes

Period rooms rarely suit off-the-shelf units. Soho terraces and apartments come with chimney breasts, alcoves, bay windows and tall ceilings, and made-to-measure cabinetry works far better around them than standard runs. We plan the design to use every awkward corner, whether that is a bank of tall larder units in an alcove or a run of base cabinets tucked into the bay. Handleless modern or classic Shaker, we build to suit the property.

For the flats and upper-floor apartments common in W1, we work within the practical limits of leasehold. That can mean coordinating with the managing agent, checking the freeholder's rules on layout changes and paying proper attention to sound insulation and waste runs between floors. We keep the site clean, protect shared hallways and stairs, and time deliveries around central London access so a busy building carries on around the works with minimal disruption.
