Bespoke kitchen design and installation in Wapping. Trusted, professional, 30+ years' hands-on experience.
GS Renovation designs and builds kitchens across Wapping, from warehouse-conversion flats with exposed brick to sleek new-build apartments overlooking the Docklands. With over 30 years of experience in E1 and across Tower Hamlets, we handle the cabinetry, worktops, plumbing, electrics and any structural work as a single, coordinated project, tailored to riverside living.

A popular Wapping kitchen project opens the cooking space into the living area to create one bright, sociable kitchen-diner that suits open, warehouse-style living. Where the dividing wall is load-bearing, we install a steel beam sized by a structural engineer and signed off by building control, often serving a party wall notice where the wall backs onto a neighbouring flat. The result feels generous and flooded with light.
We fit quality units, quartz, granite or composite worktops, integrated appliances and layered lighting, planning everything around the fixed positions of drainage, risers and structural columns common in conversions. Because a knock-through in a leasehold flat needs the freeholder's licence to alter and managing-agent sign-off, we handle that coordination alongside the building control notice, so your new E1 kitchen is delivered cleanly, safely and fully compliant.
The industrial character of a Wapping conversion, exposed brick, steel and timber, suits kitchens that either lean into that raw aesthetic or contrast it with sleek, handleless cabinetry. We design bespoke and fitted kitchens to suit the flat, whether that means built-in units that follow an awkward wall of a former warehouse or a crisp island beneath tall windows framing the river and the wharves beyond.
Kitchen electrics and any new circuits are notifiable under building regulations, and we certify that work as standard. No planning permission is needed for a kitchen inside your flat, but the freeholder's consent and building rules still apply, especially around wet works and extraction routed through shared risers. From design to the final tiled splashback and under-cabinet lighting, one team keeps the whole fit-out tidy and on time.
Wapping homeowners choose GS Renovation because one team handles the whole kitchen, including any steel beam or knock-through, the plumbing, the certified electrics and the finish. You get transparent pricing, careful working in an occupied riverside flat, and full coordination with your freeholder and managing agent. Backed by more than 30 years across E1 and Tower Hamlets.
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!

A like-for-like kitchen renovation in Wapping does not need planning permission. You will need building regulations sign-off for electrical work, and for structural changes such as removing a wall to open up the space. We manage building control on your behalf throughout.
Yes. A large share of Wapping's homes are warehouse-conversion and new-build properties, and we renovate them regularly. We plan each kitchen renovation around their particular characteristics, such as concrete or steel frames, building-management rules and modern services, so the result suits the building and meets building control.
Often yes. The wall between the kitchen and living area is frequently load-bearing in a warehouse conversion, so it needs a steel beam sized by a structural engineer and signed off by building control, plus a party wall notice if it is shared. You will also need your freeholder's licence to alter. We manage the structure and the new kitchen together as one job.
