GS Renovation renovates bathrooms across Angel and N1, from Georgian townhouses near Highbury Fields to converted flats around the Angel and Clerkenwell. With more than 30 years in Islington, we deliver full waterproofing, wet rooms, en-suites and space-saving layouts, working carefully within the constraints of period and leasehold homes.
Wet rooms and tanking in Angel homes
A lasting bathroom in an Angel period home starts with proper waterproofing. We tank the walls and floors before tiling, so water stays where it should even in the solid-walled construction typical of N1 townhouses. Wet rooms and walk-in showers need particular attention to falls, drainage and the substrate beneath the tiles, and we build these up correctly rather than relying on surface sealant to do the work.
Ventilation and drainage matter as much as the finish, especially in older Angel properties where original waste runs and airflow were never designed for modern showers. We upgrade extraction to prevent damp, reroute or renew drainage where needed, and can add underfloor heating beneath tiled floors. The result is a bathroom that looks right in a period home and performs reliably for years.
En-suites and space-saving layouts in N1
Period bedrooms in Angel often have room for a well-planned en-suite, and converted flats frequently need a compact main bathroom to make the most of a tight footprint. We design layouts that use every corner, choosing wall-hung sanitaryware, walk-in showers and clever storage so a small N1 space still feels considered rather than cramped, while keeping the plumbing runs sensible and accessible.
In leasehold flats near Clerkenwell and Old Street, a bathroom in a new position may need the freeholder's agreement and attention to sound insulation and waterproofing above a neighbour below. We coordinate this and work within building rules. Bathroom electrics fall under building regulations, which we handle throughout, so your finished Angel bathroom is safe, watertight and properly certified.
