GS Renovation creates bathrooms and en-suites throughout Bermondsey, from spacious warehouse conversions to compact new-build apartments in SE16. With more than 30 years across South London, we tank, waterproof, tile and finish every bathroom properly, paying particular attention to the drainage, ventilation and sound separation that flats above other homes demand.
Waterproofing bathrooms in Bermondsey flats
In a Bermondsey apartment your bathroom usually sits directly above another home, so getting the waterproofing right is not optional. We fully tank wet areas before tiling, form falls that carry water to the drain, and detail the junctions where floor meets wall so nothing can track through to the flat below. This protects your investment and your relationship with the neighbours beneath you.
Ventilation is the other priority in these tightly sealed conversions and new-builds, where poor airflow quickly leads to condensation and mould. We install extraction that meets building regulations and vents correctly to the outside or the block's system, and we route drainage to suit the existing soil stack, coordinating any changes with the managing agent so the whole building's plumbing stays sound.
Wet rooms and en-suites across SE16
Warehouse conversions in Bermondsey often have room for a generous walk-in shower or a full wet room, and we build these with continuous tanking, a level threshold and underfloor heating for a warm, seamless finish that suits the industrial character. Where head height or column positions complicate the layout, we plan around them so the finished room feels considered rather than compromised.
New-build apartments tend to offer less space, so the skill is fitting a functional en-suite or family bathroom into a tight footprint. We use space-saving layouts, wall-hung sanitaryware and recessed storage to keep floor area clear, install underfloor heating where the build-up allows, and finish with tiling and lighting that make a small SE16 bathroom feel far larger than its plan suggests.
