Kitchen Renovation Southall

GS Renovation designs and builds kitchens across Southall, from compact galley layouts to open-plan kitchen-diners in 1930s semi-detached and interwar homes. With over 30 years of experience in the UB1 area, we handle the cabinetry, worktops, plumbing, electrics and any structural steelwork as one coordinated project, tidily and to a high standard.

Open-plan kitchen-diners in Southall semis

The most popular kitchen project in Southall opens the rear of a 1930s semi, knocking the kitchen through to the dining room or rear reception to create a bright, sociable kitchen-diner. That dividing wall is usually load-bearing, so we install a steel beam sized by a structural engineer and signed off by building control, on padstones and with safe temporary propping. On the wider plots typical of the area, many owners combine this with a rear extension for even more space.

Once the structure is open, we fit the kitchen properly: bespoke or quality fitted units, worktops in quartz, granite or composite, integrated appliances, and lighting planned around the new space. Plumbing and electrics are run in first fix, tiling and splashbacks follow, and the finish is set out to suit the proportions of the interwar house. Because we handle both the steel and the kitchen, the knock-through and the new room come together as one clean job.

Bespoke fitted kitchens for UB1 homes

Not every Southall kitchen needs a wall removed. Many interwar semis have a square rear kitchen that simply needs replanning, with a better layout, more storage and modern services. We design around the room you have, fitting made-to-measure units into awkward corners, working the run around the rear door and window, and choosing worktops and finishes that suit the age and light of the house. Good design often adds more usable space than knocking through would.

Every kitchen we fit in UB1 includes the services done right: fresh plumbing for sink, dishwasher and washing machine, updated electrics for sockets, appliances and lighting, and proper ventilation. Kitchen electrics are notifiable under building regulations, and we handle that as part of the job, no planning permission required for an internal kitchen. From handleless contemporary designs to classic Shaker, we build to last in the settled family homes around Southall and Hanwell.

Extraction that copes with heavy cooking

A hood that is adequate for occasional cooking will not cope with a household that fries, sears and cooks at high heat most evenings. The result is grease on the ceiling, condensation on the windows and a smell that reaches the bedrooms. The answer is a properly sized extractor ducted to outside, with a duct diameter that matches the unit rather than being reduced to fit a convenient hole, and as few bends in the run as possible.

Part F sets the minimum extract rates for a kitchen, and it is worth treating those as a floor rather than a target. Baffle filters in stainless steel handle grease better than mesh and can go in the dishwasher. Surfaces matter too: a wipeable splashback behind and beside the hob, and a paint finish on the ceiling that tolerates cleaning. We plan the duct route in UB1 before the ceiling closes, because retrofitting one is genuinely difficult.
