Kitchens, bathrooms and decorating in Golders Green
Golders Green is Barnet: Edwardian and inter-war family houses, pebbledash and later mock-Tudor, with mansion flats along the main roads and toward Golders Hill Park. Plots are larger than Camden conversions; kitchens are more often original family rooms than inserted closets. Off-street parking is more common, which changes how materials arrive. The high street on Golders Green Road is a separate grain from the crescents behind it. Our services here are the same four — kitchen, bathroom, painting, light refurbishment — applied to family houses more often than to stacked mansion flats.

The housing in Golders Green
Building stock, from the inside
Inside the standard house, the back of the plan is the interesting part. A rear projection once held a scullery and a larder beside the kitchen, and those small rooms are why so many kitchens here have already been combined once. Work outside this main service is covered in our Other services catalogue; the scope and responsible business are confirmed before an instruction. Bathrooms are upstairs over the hall or the return, on suspended timber floors that flex under a filled bath. Casements, leaded lights, picture rails and panelled doors survive in patches rather than throughout. Ground floors are timber over a ventilated void, so the air bricks matter more than they look.
