GS Renovation designs and builds kitchens across South Kensington, from lower-ground rooms in Georgian townhouses to bright open-plan spaces in the museum quarter. With over 30 years in SW7, we handle the cabinetry, worktops, services and any structural knock-through as one project, tailored to the proportions of a period home.
Open-plan kitchen-diners in South Kensington townhouses
The most requested kitchen project in South Kensington opens the rear of the house, taking out the wall between a dark lower-ground kitchen and the room behind it to create one light-filled kitchen-diner. Because that dividing wall carries the floors above, we install a steel beam sized by a structural engineer and signed off by building control.
In many SW7 houses this pairs neatly with infilling the side return, which widens a narrow galley into a proper sociable space. We fit the units, run the plumbing and electrics, tile and light the room, and where the wall is shared with a neighbour we serve the party wall notice the work requires.
Bespoke kitchens for South Kensington period homes
Georgian and Regency houses in South Kensington come with alcoves, chimney breasts and tall ceilings that rarely suit off-the-shelf units. Made-to-measure, in-frame cabinetry fits these awkward proportions properly, and in a lower-ground kitchen we plan the layout, ventilation and lighting around the reduced head height and the limited natural light typical of SW7.
We finish with quartz, granite or composite worktops, integrated appliances and considered task and ambient lighting. From handleless contemporary designs to classic Shaker joinery, we build to suit the age of the house, and all the plumbing, wiring, tiling and decoration are handled in-house so the kitchen arrives as one complete result.
