GS Renovation creates kitchens across Streatham, from bespoke fitted designs to open-plan kitchen-diners in the bay-fronted Victorian and Edwardian terraces of SW16. With over 30 years in Lambeth, we handle the cabinetry, worktops, plumbing, electrics and any structural knock-through as one seamless project.
Open-plan kitchen-diners in Streatham terraces
The signature Streatham kitchen project opens the rear of a terrace, knocking the kitchen through to the middle reception to form a bright, sociable kitchen-diner that looks out over the garden. That dividing wall is almost always load-bearing, so we install a steel beam sized by a structural engineer, sign it off with Lambeth building control, and often infill the side return to widen the room further.
With the space opened up, we fit the kitchen itself, running new plumbing and electrics, integrating appliances and laying the flooring and tiling. We plan the layout around the closet wing and the original chimney breast, common features in SW16 terraces, so the finished kitchen-diner feels generous and considered rather than squeezed into an awkward footprint.
Bespoke kitchens and worktops in Streatham
Streatham's period terraces have alcoves, chimney breasts and tall ceilings that suit made-to-measure cabinetry far better than off-the-shelf units. We design the kitchen to the room, whether that is a classic Shaker style in keeping with an Edwardian home or a sleek handleless run for a modern extension, using every awkward corner the terrace throws at us.
For worktops we fit quartz, granite and composite surfaces, templated and installed to a precise fit, hard-wearing and easy to live with. Alongside the cabinetry we handle the tiling, task and feature lighting, extraction and the appliance integration, so the whole kitchen is delivered by one team. That single point of responsibility is what keeps SW16 kitchen projects on track.
Which trade signs off which part
A kitchen involves several separate qualifications and it is worth knowing who carries which responsibility. The electrician is registered with a competent person scheme and self certifies the notifiable work, issuing the certificate and notifying Lambeth. A Gas Safe registered engineer is the only person who may connect a gas hob or alter a supply, and they issue their own paperwork. Neither of those can be covered by a general builder's assurance. Where a beam is involved, the structural engineer is a fourth appointment again, and their design governs everything else on the floor.
The rest sits with us: the joinery, the tiling, the plastering, the waste runs and any structural opening built to the engineer's design. Where a worktop is stone, the fabricator templates and installs it themselves and guarantees their own work. We hold the programme together so those visits happen in the right order, but the certificates come from the people who actually did the work, which is exactly how it should be.
