Bespoke kitchen design and installation in Tooting. Trusted, professional, 30+ years' hands-on experience.
GS Renovation designs and builds kitchens across Tooting, from bespoke fitted kitchens in bay-fronted terraces to open-plan kitchen-diners that transform the rear of an SW17 home. With over 30 years in Wandsworth, we handle the cabinetry, worktops, plumbing, electrics and any steel beam knock-through as a single, coordinated project.

The classic Tooting kitchen project opens the cramped rear galley into a bright kitchen-diner that runs the width of the house. We usually take out the wall to the closet wing, and often infill the side return at the same time, to create one large sociable room facing the garden. Because that rear wall carries load, a structural engineer sizes a steel beam, we prop and install it, and Wandsworth building control signs it off.
Into that new space we fit quartz, granite or composite worktops, integrated appliances, considered task and mood lighting, and cabinetry planned around the room's proportions. We run the plumbing for a large island or run of units, add the sockets and extraction the new layout needs, and tile and finish throughout. Where the wall we remove is shared with next door, a party wall notice is served before the structural work begins.
Not every Tooting kitchen needs a knock-through. Many SW17 terraces have a decent kitchen footprint that simply needs a better layout, and their chimney breasts, alcoves and tall ceilings suit made-to-measure cabinetry far better than standard flat-pack units. We design around the awkward returns and the closet wing window, using full-height storage and a considered work triangle to get the most from a period space without losing its proportions or natural light.
From handleless contemporary designs to classic in-frame Shaker kitchens, we build to suit the age of the house and the way you cook. Our team handles the full installation in-house, the units and worktops, the plumbing and electrics, the tiling, the splashbacks and the lighting, so there is one team accountable for the finished room. Kitchen electrics are notifiable under building regulations, and we certify that work as part of the job.
Tooting homeowners choose GS Renovation because one team delivers the whole kitchen, including any steel beam knock-through, the services and the finish, rather than juggling separate trades. You get bespoke design suited to a period terrace, transparent pricing, tidy working in an occupied home and building control certification where it is needed. Over 30 years across Wandsworth stands behind every kitchen.

FAQ
There is no going rate worth quoting, because scope varies more than the market does. A simple kitchen renovation job near SW17 and a complicated one elsewhere in Tooting are different pieces of work. GS Renovation surveys and prices each on its merits, with the Wandsworth Council element shown separately. Ring 07472 424 226 for an honest steer on your bay-fronted Victorian terraced property, or email info@gsrenovationltd.co.uk with the SW17 address and we will book a free survey. 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.
Generally yes, because there is less to make good. A newer SW17 home has regular dimensions and predictable construction, so kitchen renovation spends less time on plaster and joinery than it does in two and three-bedroom Victorian terraces, a good many now split into flats. The structural stage is similar in both. GS Renovation programmes each Tooting property on what the survey actually finds rather than on its age alone. The Tooting programme reflects the construction GS Renovation finds at SW17, not the build date.
Local knowledge changes the quotation more than people realise. What kitchen renovation requires in a bay-fronted Victorian terraced Tooting home is not what it requires on a new estate, and GS Renovation prices the SW17 property from having done it repeatedly across Wandsworth. Distance also decides how quickly anyone returns for aftercare. Ring 07472 424 226 and ask which Battersea jobs are running now. Ask any firm quoting at your SW17 home for Wandsworth addresses to visit.
Part P covers the electrics and must be certified, ventilation and extraction must meet Part F, and gas work must be carried out by a registered engineer. If the Tooting project involves removing a load-bearing wall, that needs an engineer's design and Wandsworth Council approval as well.
Yes, in method, sequence and materials. Kitchen renovation at an SW17 address of that age uses details suited to the original construction, and Wandsworth Council will expect the application to reflect that. GS Renovation sets the approach out in the Tooting quotation before starting. Nothing is copied across from the last job on a different type of house. GS Renovation will describe the kitchen renovation details proposed for an SW17 property before any work begins.
Existing gullies and the rainwater downpipe in the alley are dealt with before anything is built. An SW17 side return normally contains a rear gully and sometimes a neighbour's overflow, so we lift and reroute the run to a position outside the finished kitchen. Where a drain must stay beneath the slab it is encased and given access, and a build over agreement is needed for a shared sewer.
We do not think of it as travelling, because Tooting is inside our normal working area. Kitchen renovation projects run across Wandsworth most weeks, so reaching an SW17 address is routine and there is no surcharge for it. GS Renovation also returns for aftercare, which matters more than the initial journey. Ring 07472 424 226 and we will confirm the position. The survey costs a Tooting homeowner nothing. Snagging visits to SW17 are equally routine.
