Kitchen Renovation Wembley

GS Renovation designs and builds kitchens across Wembley, from compact galley layouts in HA9's flats to open-plan kitchen-diners in its interwar semis. We handle the cabinetry, worktops, services and any structural work as one project, making the most of every flat and 1930s house.

In Wembley, 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 Wembley: we carry the strip-out, services and fit as one contract, with the electrics certified by a registered electrician.

How the job runs

1. Free design visit at your Wembley home and an itemised quote.
2. Strip-out and any structural work, first-fix plumbing and electrics, plastering.
3. Units fitted and levelled; stone worktops templated and cut off site.
4. Worktops, appliances, tiling and second fix. Electrics certified under Part P by a registered electrician, or notified to building control. Typically 3 to 5 weeks on site.

Open-plan kitchen-diners in Wembley semis

In Wembley's 1930s semis, the most requested kitchen project opens the rear kitchen through to the dining room or reception, creating a single bright, sociable space that looks onto the garden. That dividing wall is nearly always load-bearing, so we install a steel beam sized by a structural engineer and signed off by Brent building control. On these wider suburban plots we often combine the knock-through with a side or rear extension to gain even more room.

Once the structure is in, we fit the kitchen properly. Quartz, granite or composite worktops, integrated appliances, considered task and ambient lighting, tiling, and the plumbing and electrics run by our own team, with new circuits certified by a registered electrician. Where a party wall is affected on these semi-detached pairs, you serve the correct notice first as building owner. The result is a kitchen-diner that suits how HA9 families cook, eat and gather rather than the cramped rear kitchen the house was originally given.

Housing in Wembley

On the valuation list Wembley counts about 17,140 homes, 71% flats and 29% houses; 12% predate 1919, 25% are interwar and 63% post-war. A kitchen sink in a flat in Wembley has to stay within reach of the shared soil stack, which matters here because most homes are flats.

Kitchens in Wembley's newer flats are set by the slab and the stack

50% of Wembley's homes were built in 2000 or later, and many of those are flats in framed blocks with concrete floor slabs. That fixes more of a kitchen than the walls do. The waste has to reach the stack with a steady fall, and it cannot be buried in a slab that may not be cut or core drilled without the freeholder's agreement. A sink moved a long way from the stack needs a raised floor, a plinth run or a pumped unit. Ask the managing agent what the slab is, and mark the stack on the plan before the kitchen is designed.

The paperwork has its own line too. Brent's building regulation charges guide lists installing a new bathroom, toilet, en-suite or kitchen as a separate item at the full charge. A Wembley kitchen created in a new position with new drainage can therefore be building control work in its own right, while a like-for-like replacement of units usually is not. Ask which yours is at the survey. If it is new, name it on the application, so the drainage and the extract are inspected and the completion certificate covers the kitchen as well as any structural work.

Bespoke fitted kitchens for HA9 homes

Not every Wembley kitchen needs a wall knocked out. Plenty of interwar homes simply want their dated units replaced with a well-planned fitted kitchen that works around the existing chimney breast, window positions and back door. We measure precisely and design the layout to make the most of the space, whether that is a run of handleless contemporary units or a classic Shaker scheme in keeping with the age of the house.

We manage the full trade sequence so you deal with one team, not five. New plumbing for the sink and any island, safe electrics for the ring main, appliances and lighting, with any new circuit certified by a registered electrician under Part P, tiling to splashbacks and floors, and a proper finish throughout. Appliances are integrated cleanly and worktops templated and fitted to the millimetre. Across HA9 we keep the working area tidy and the household functioning while the kitchen comes together.
