GS Renovation designs and builds kitchens across Wanstead, from compact galley layouts to open-plan kitchen-diners in the Victorian and Edwardian terraces near Wanstead Park. With over 30 years of experience in E11 and Redbridge, we handle the cabinetry, worktops, plumbing, electrics and any structural work as a single project.
Open-plan kitchen knock-throughs in Wanstead
The classic Wanstead kitchen project opens the rear of the terrace, knocking the kitchen through to the middle reception, or filling in the side return beside the closet wing, to create one bright, sociable kitchen-diner. That dividing wall is nearly always load-bearing, so we install a steel beam sized by a structural engineer and signed off by building control, with temporary propping while the wall comes out in stages.
Once the structure is in, we fit the new kitchen around it. These E11 terraces often have awkward returns and chimney breasts, so a bespoke or carefully planned fitted layout usually works better than off-the-shelf units forced into the space. We integrate the appliances, run the plumbing and electrics, tile, and light the room so the finished kitchen-diner feels open and connected to the garden beyond.
Bespoke kitchens for Wanstead period homes
The proportions of a Wanstead terrace, with its tall ceilings, alcoves and original chimney breasts, suit a kitchen planned around the room rather than dropped into it. We design layouts that use the height and the recesses, whether you want a handleless contemporary look or a classic in-frame Shaker style, and we finish with quartz, granite or composite worktops chosen to suit the way you cook and entertain.
Everything is handled in-house, from the first-fix plumbing and electrics to the tiling, splashbacks and task lighting. Kitchen electrics are notifiable under building regulations, so that side is certified as part of the job. Working in an occupied E11 home, we keep the site tidy and the disruption contained, and coordinate any steel beam knock-through with the kitchen fit so the two halves of the project dovetail rather than clash.
