GS Renovation renovates bathrooms across Addiscombe, fitting them into the closet wings and box rooms of the Victorian and Edwardian terraces that fill CR0. With over 30 years in Croydon we handle the waterproofing, drainage, tiling and heating, turning dated or awkward period bathrooms into wet rooms, en-suites and well-planned family bathrooms.
Waterproofing and wet rooms in Addiscombe
Many Addiscombe bathrooms sit in the rear closet wing, often over a single-storey structure with solid walls and older joists. Getting the waterproofing right matters here, so before a single tile goes on we tank the walls and floor, forming a continuous membrane that protects the fabric of the terrace from leaks and long-term damp.
For a walk-in shower or a full wet room we set the drainage falls correctly and, on a suspended timber floor, reinforce and level it to take the finish. Ventilation is planned in from the start with proper extraction, because these period rooms hold moisture. The result is a watertight bathroom that copes with daily family use without the damp problems older CR0 bathrooms often develop.
Space-saving bathrooms for CR0 period homes
Space is tight in an Addiscombe terrace, and a bathroom off the closet wing rarely has an inch to spare. We plan the layout carefully, using wall-hung sanitaryware, compact and back-to-wall units and clever storage to make a small room feel generous while keeping it fully usable. Underfloor heating frees up the wall space a radiator would have taken.
En-suites are a frequent request, often carved out of a corner of a main bedroom to serve a growing family. We route the drainage back to the existing stack, upgrade the ventilation and tile throughout, and where the electrics are involved the work is notifiable under building regulations and certified accordingly. Small period spaces are exactly where careful planning pays off.
