Renovating a kitchen often touches the structure, since the wall you want removed, or the chimney breast in the corner, may be carrying load. Our survey comes first; if the design calls for a structural engineer we appoint one and follow their calculations. The following trades are ours to run as well, from drainage and electrics to plastering, tiling and the final fit. This page covers what that means in Windsor's older housing.
For Windsor, on London-derived ranges a kitchen renovation typically costs £18,000 to £60,000 or more from design to fitting; Berkshire work generally runs below that. GS Renovation Ltd, a building contractor based in Potters Bar, does the work in Windsor: we carry the strip-out, services and fit as one contract, with the electrics certified by a registered electrician.

Water and drainage for a Windsor kitchen sit with Thames Water
Across the Royal Borough of Windsor and Maidenhead, water supply and sewerage both fall to Thames Water as statutory undertaker. If a new layout takes a waste run to a different position, alters a connection or brings work close to a public sewer, Thames Water is the body involved rather than the council. We establish where the existing drainage runs before the layout is signed off, because a sink on the wrong wall is an expensive change once the floor is down.
Housing in Windsor
Windsor has about 16,960 homes on the Council Tax list: 22% pre-1919, 8% interwar and 68% post-war, with flats making up 34% and houses 66%. A mid-terrace kitchen in Windsor has to vent out the front or back, not the side, and 30% of homes here are terraced.
Space at the back of a Windsor terrace is limited, and so is the route in
The council's appraisal describes Grove Road as a long row of small terraced dwellings, built up to the pavement, with small basements beneath and modest yards and gardens behind. A modest rear yard sets what a kitchen can expand into, and a basement under the floor affects how services are run and what any new opening bears on. We measure both at survey before a layout is drawn.
Access decides how the job runs day to day. Gardner Cottages are built in terraces of twelve, with a bigger cottage at either end and a central pair of bigger cottages flanking a passage through to the rear. Where there is no such passage, units, appliances, spoil and waste all travel through the house. According to the Inner Windsor appraisal, minor street dwellings were built from the mid to late nineteenth century up to the First World War, though some rows, Grove Road among them, are earlier. The floors and walls being worked into are of that age.

Why Windsor Homeowners Choose GS Renovation
A kitchen in a small brick terrace can be a structural job wearing a kitchen's clothes. Before any layout is fixed we establish what each wall does; if a beam is needed, a structural engineer appointed by us supplies the calculations and we build to them. We never write those calculations. After that, drainage, electrics, plastering, tiling and fitting run as one programme under us, so five trades are not yours to coordinate or chase. Notifiable work also brings the building control application and inspection dates into our remit.

FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions about Kitchen Renovation Windsor
How much should kitchen renovation in Windsor cost?
The cost of kitchen renovation in Windsor is typically £18,000 to £60,000 or more (London-derived), and the SL4 survey decides where in that range your job lands. The biggest mover is what the survey finds: joist direction decides where a Windsor sink can move. GS Renovation shows any Royal Borough of Windsor and Maidenhead building control fee on its own line, and the written figure follows within days of the visit.
Does a new kitchen need a building control application in Windsor?
It depends what moves. Replacing units and appliances where they stand does not, while moving drainage, forming or widening an opening, altering the structure or adding a window does. Applications are made to the Royal Borough of Windsor and Maidenhead, whose in house building control service calls itself local, independent, impartial and not for profit. We tell you which side of that line your kitchen falls on before quoting.
Can wider doors go into the back wall of a kitchen in a conservation area?
That is two questions and both are answered before work starts. The opening is structural, so the engineer we appoint sizes the beam and the bearings. The elevation, though, is external. Of the Royal Borough's 27 designated conservation areas, four are in Windsor, and one takes in the terraced rows of Sheet Street, Kings Road, Alexandra Road, Helena Road, St Mark's Road and Queen's Road. We confirm with the council whether the rear alteration needs consent.
Can underfloor heating go into a kitchen with a cellar below?
Yes, with the floor build up designed for what is underneath. Houses on the major streets, Clarence Road, Frances Road and Kings Road for example, are three storeys high with cellars in the council's Inner Windsor appraisal. A suspended timber floor over a cellar takes a different system from a solid floor laid on the ground, and it needs insulation below the pipes so heat rises into the room. We survey the void before specifying.
Can a cooker hood vent through an old flue?
It can, where the flue is sound and the terminal position works. The council's Inner Windsor appraisal records chimneys sitting along the roof slopes, with parapet divisions between dwellings, so the outlet is visible from outside and the stack may hold a flue still in use next door. A liner, a proper terminal and a clear route are the requirements. We check the flue before the layout depends on it.
