GS Renovation fits bathrooms and en-suites across Barnes, working within the tight, awkward spaces typical of SW13's bay-fronted Victorian and Edwardian terraces and period cottages. With more than 30 years in South West London, we handle the waterproofing, drainage, tiling, heating and finish in one go, turning dated or cramped bathrooms into rooms that work.
Wet rooms and walk-in showers in Barnes
A wet room only lasts if the waterproofing is done properly, and in a Barnes terrace with timber suspended floors that matters even more. We tank the whole area with a bonded membrane behind the tiling, form the falls to the drain, and make sure the shower cannot find its way into the joists below. Walk-in showers suit the narrower bathrooms of an SW13 home, giving a clean, open feel without a bulky enclosure.
Getting waste and ventilation right is half the job in a period bathroom. We reroute drainage to fall correctly, upgrade extraction to clear moisture from a room with little natural airflow, and often add underfloor heating so tiled floors are warm underfoot and dry quickly. Tiling is set out to suit the proportions of the room, and everything is finished to a standard that copes with daily family use in a Barnes home.
En-suites and space-saving layouts in Barnes
Barnes terraces rarely offer generous bathrooms, so clever planning counts. We carve en-suites out of a corner of a bedroom or the space over the stairs, choose compact sanitaryware, and use wall-hung units and recessed niches to keep floor area free. Sliding doors, concealed cisterns and considered lighting all help a small SW13 bathroom feel bigger. The aim is a room that is practical for a busy household yet still feels calm.
A new bathroom inside the house does not need planning permission, and most Barnes projects run straight from design to install. We manage the lot, moving pipework and waste, adding the extraction, running the electrics and fitting underfloor heating, then tiling and finishing. New bathroom wiring is notifiable and certified under building regulations. Working in an occupied home, we protect the rest of the house and keep to a clear, agreed timetable.
