GS Renovation designs and builds kitchens across Tower Hamlets, from Victorian terraces in Bow and Bethnal Green to warehouse conversions in Wapping and new-build apartments near Canary Wharf. With 30+ years of experience in E1, E2, E3 and E14, we deliver the cabinetry, worktops, services and any structural work as one finished project.
Open-plan kitchen-diners in Tower Hamlets
The most popular kitchen project in Tower Hamlets terraces opens the rear of a Bow or Bethnal Green house, knocking the kitchen through to the neighbouring room to create a 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. In many E3 homes we also infill the side return to widen the space and pull in more daylight.
In warehouse conversions and E14 riverside flats the approach is different. Structural change is limited and walls between flats must stay, so we design a striking open-plan kitchen within the existing footprint, making the most of head height and exposed features. We handle worktops in quartz, granite or composite, integrated appliances, plumbing, electrics, tiling and lighting so the whole kitchen lands as one coordinated fit-out.
Bespoke and fitted kitchens across E1 to E14
Tower Hamlets homes ask for very different kitchens. A Victorian terrace in Bethnal Green suits made-to-measure cabinetry that works around chimney breasts, alcoves and tall ceilings, while a Canary Wharf apartment often calls for a sleek, handleless contemporary run with fully integrated appliances. We plan each layout around the real room, the natural light and the way you actually cook and live.
Whatever the style, we build the kitchen properly. Worktops are templated and fitted precisely, appliances are integrated cleanly, and the plumbing, electrics, tiling and lighting are all handled in-house. New kitchen circuits are notifiable under building regulations, and where a knock-through is involved we manage the steel and building control sign-off too, so you deal with one team from design through to the final tile.
Lead times, deliveries and where units wait
Kitchens are not held in stock. Cabinetry is made to order, often on a lead time of several weeks, appliances can be longer, and stone worktops are templated only once the units are fitted. That means the order has to be placed early and the delivery date has to line up with a room that is ready to receive it. A kitchen ordered the week the units are wanted is a kitchen that will not be there.
In Tower Hamlets the second problem is space. A flat in Wapping or a terrace off Roman Road has nowhere to stack thirty boxes for a fortnight, and a delivery lorry has nowhere to sit while it unloads. We book deliveries to arrive close to the day they are needed, in stages where the flat is small, and check the access route and the parking restrictions before the order goes in. Kitchens that arrive too early get damaged, and kitchens that arrive too late stop everything.
