Bespoke kitchen design and installation in Surbiton. Trusted, professional, 30+ years' hands-on experience.
GS Renovation designs and builds kitchens throughout Surbiton, turning the cramped rear kitchens of KT6's Victorian and Edwardian terraces into open, sociable spaces. With over 30 years of experience across South West London, we handle the cabinetry, worktops, plumbing, electrics and any structural work needed to open the room as a single project.

The classic Surbiton kitchen project knocks the rear closet-wing kitchen through to the middle reception room, creating a bright kitchen-diner where there were two poky spaces. 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 before the old wall comes out. Where the plot allows, filling the side return at the same time widens the space and lets in far more daylight.
Once the structure is open we fit the kitchen itself, planning the layout around the new island or run and the existing chimney breast if it stays. Quartz, granite or composite worktops, integrated appliances, proper task lighting and honest tiling all go in as part of the same job. Handling the beam and the kitchen together means no gap between trades and a finished room that works as one continuous space.
The alcoves either side of a chimney breast, the tall ceilings and the awkward corners of a Surbiton terrace suit made-to-measure cabinetry far better than off-the-shelf units. We plan bespoke and fitted kitchens that use every inch, taking storage up to picture-rail height and squaring off the irregular walls these older houses always have. From handleless contemporary designs to classic in-frame Shaker, we build to suit the age and proportions of the property.
Behind the doors we run new plumbing for sinks, dishwashers and any island, add the circuits an modern kitchen needs with the electrics certified under building regulations, and set out ventilation so the room stays fresh. Tiling, splashbacks and lighting are finished by the same team, so the cabinetry, the services and the surfaces all line up. It is the level of fit that period Surbiton homes deserve.
Surbiton homeowners choose GS Renovation because one accountable team handles the whole kitchen, including the steel beam for any knock-through, the plumbing and electrics and the final finish. You get transparent pricing, tidy working in an occupied home and cabinetry built for the quirks of a KT6 period house, backed by more than 30 years of local experience.
George was brilliant. Lovely bloke, very reasonably priced and a perfectionist to boot. He completed our small kitchen renovation with care and great attention to detail. I've already recommended him to others.
Splendid job on our new kitchen refurb, including new flooring, moving the services, installing RSJ and preparing space for new back doors… George was always friendly, communicative and has an excellent attention to detail, ensuring everything is finished to a high standard.
Giorgio is an excellent and intelligent workman, and with very reasonable prices!… He paid a lot of attention to detail that is not common at all, and the final result was immaculate. Highly recommended!
FAQ
Every Surbiton project is priced on its own merits, as the cost of kitchen renovation varies with the size, specification and condition of the home. We give a clear, itemised quote up front with no obligation. Call 07472 424 226 for an estimate tailored to your property. As a rough guide, kitchen renovation in London ranges from roughly £18,000 to £60,000 or more (indicative London ranges, MyBuilder and Checkatrade, 2026). Your figure depends on the size, specification and condition of the property, which is why we survey before quoting.
A straightforward Surbiton project can be done in a couple of weeks, while a larger kitchen renovation with structural work runs longer. We set out a realistic, stage-by-stage programme before we begin so there are no surprises.

Yes. A large share of Surbiton's homes are Victorian and Edwardian terraced properties, and we renovate them regularly. We plan each kitchen renovation around their particular characteristics, such as solid brick walls, rear closet wings, side returns and original period features, so the result suits the building and meets building control.
Yes, it is one of the most common jobs we do in Surbiton. The wall between the rear kitchen and the middle room is usually load-bearing, so it needs a steel beam sized by a structural engineer and signed off by building control. If that wall is a shared party wall, a Party Wall Act notice is also required. We manage the structure and the new kitchen together.
