Kitchen Renovation Uxbridge

GS Renovation designs and fits kitchens throughout Uxbridge, from the compact galley kitchens in 1930s semis to open-plan spaces in modern UB8 homes. We handle the cabinetry, the worktops, the plumbing and electrics, and any structural knock-through, all as one project managed by a single team.

In Uxbridge, a kitchen renovation typically costs £18,000 to £60,000 or more from design to fitting (indicative London ranges, MyBuilder and Checkatrade, 2026). GS Renovation Ltd, a building contractor based in Potters Bar, does the work in Uxbridge: we carry the strip-out, services and fit as one contract, with the electrics certified by a registered electrician.

Open-plan kitchen-diners in Uxbridge semis

Uxbridge semis, 1930s and post-war alike, were built with a separate kitchen at the rear and a dining room in front, divided by a wall that is usually load-bearing. The most popular kitchen project in UB8 opens that wall to create a single kitchen-diner. We install a steel beam sized by a structural engineer, prop the structure safely while the masonry comes out, and see the opening through Hillingdon Council building control before the new kitchen goes in.

With the wall gone, the generous rear plots typical of Uxbridge often allow the kitchen to extend towards the garden as well. We fit quality units, quartz, granite or composite worktops and integrated appliances, then run the plumbing, electrics, tiling and lighting so the finished space works as one room. Any new circuit or consumer unit change is notifiable under Part P, and it is certified by a registered electrician as part of the job.

Housing in Uxbridge

Uxbridge has around 12,630 homes on the Council Tax list: 71% post-war, 17% interwar and 12% predate 1919, with 47% flats and 53% houses. The flank wall of a semi in Uxbridge gives a kitchen extract and a moved sink the shortest route outside, and 17% of homes here are semi-detached.

Kitchens in Uxbridge's newer homes start with the original build file

In Uxbridge 29% of homes were built in 2000 or later, so a kitchen refit here may well be in a house or flat built this century. That changes the survey. The drawings from the original build should show where the soil stack runs, which walls are structural and whether the frame is timber, and they save guesswork about where a sink or hob can move. Ask the conveyancer or managing agent for them before the kitchen designer measures up, because a layout drawn without them may need redrawing.

Where the kitchen changes the outside of an older Uxbridge house, the planning map matters instead. The Old Uxbridge/Windsor Street conservation area was amalgamated in 1987, and within Hillingdon's conservation areas altering a building is likely to need planning permission. An extract outlet or a wider window on the front is the kind of change to raise first. Settle any opening that needs permission through planning, then design the units to the approved positions.

Bespoke fitted kitchens for Uxbridge homes

Not every Uxbridge kitchen needs a wall removed. Many 1930s houses have a squarish rear kitchen with a chimney breast or an awkward corner that a made-to-measure layout suits far better than off-the-shelf units. We plan the run around the existing services, the boiler and the back door, maximising storage and worktop while keeping a sensible working triangle for the cook.

From handleless contemporary designs to classic Shaker styles, we build to suit the age and feel of the house. A handleless kitchen uses a recessed rail or push-to-open doors, which suits flat slab fronts but needs precise, even door gaps; a Shaker door has a framed panel that takes a painted finish well and is more forgiving on walls that are not quite square. Either works, whether that is a modern UB8 property or an older interwar home. Worktops in quartz, granite or composite are templated and fitted precisely, appliances are integrated cleanly, and the tiling, splashbacks and lighting are finished by the same team. Everything from first design to final silicone bead is handled in-house.
