GS Renovation renovates bathrooms and en-suites throughout Barking and Dagenham, in Becontree Estate semis, Chadwell Heath and Dagenham. With more than 30 years across IG11, RM8, RM9 and RM10, we handle tanking, drainage, tiling, underfloor heating and the layout, so a dated 1930s bathroom becomes a properly waterproofed, modern room.
Wet rooms and walk-in showers in Barking and Dagenham
Many 1930s houses in the borough still have the original small bathroom, often over the stairs or above a rear closet wing. We strip these back, tank the walls and floor to a fully waterproof shell, then build in a wet room or a walk-in shower with proper falls to the drain, correct ventilation and tiling that suits the age of the house.
Getting the waterproofing right is the part that protects the house long term, and on suspended timber floors common in interwar homes it matters even more. We form the tanking, set the drainage and extraction, add underfloor heating where wanted, then tile and finish so the room stays dry and warm for years rather than failing quietly behind the tiles.
En-suites and space-saving layouts in Barking and Dagenham
The generous bedrooms in many Becontree and Dagenham semis leave room to carve out an en-suite, often off the main bedroom or into an unused box room. We plan the drainage runs and ventilation carefully, since adding a bathroom to a 1930s house means routing new soil and waste pipes without spoiling the rooms below.
In the smaller original bathrooms we design space-saving layouts, using wall-hung basins, compact showers and clever storage to make a tight room work hard. All the plumbing, the notifiable electrics, the tiling and the heating are handled by one team, so the finished bathroom is watertight, well ventilated and built to the standard the borough's houses deserve.
