GS Renovation refits bathrooms across Barnet, from compact family bathrooms in 1930s Finchley semis to en-suites in the larger interwar homes of Mill Hill and Hendon. With over 30 years across N3, N12, NW4 and NW7, we handle waterproofing, drainage, tiling and heating, delivering wet rooms and bathrooms built to last.
Waterproofing and wet rooms in Barnet
Proper waterproofing is what separates a bathroom that lasts from one that fails. In Barnet's interwar homes we tank and seal wet areas fully before tiling, whether we are fitting a straightforward family bathroom or a level-access wet room. Walk-in showers are increasingly popular across Finchley and Edgware, and they need the floor falls, membranes and drainage detailed correctly from the outset to stay watertight for years.
Behind the tiles we sort the parts that matter, reliable hot and cold supplies, well-graded waste runs and adequate ventilation to manage the condensation these older houses are prone to. Underfloor heating warms the room and speeds drying, a real benefit in solid-floor bathrooms. All bathroom electrics are installed to current standards and notified under building regulations, so the finished room is safe as well as good-looking.
Space-saving bathrooms in period Barnet homes
The bathrooms in Barnet's 1930s semis are often tight, tucked over the stairs or squeezed beside a chimney breast, so a clever layout matters. We plan sanitaryware, storage and screens to make the most of every inch, whether we are updating the family bathroom or carving an en-suite out of a box room or loft conversion. Concealed cisterns and wall-hung fittings free up valuable floor space.
Finish is where these rooms come alive. We tile fully to the waterproofed substrate, fit quality brassware and sanitaryware, and add the heating, lighting and extraction that make a bathroom comfortable year-round. From a compact en-suite in a Golders Green semi to a spa-style family bathroom near Hampstead Garden Suburb, the plumbing, tiling and electrics are all handled by our own team.
