GS Renovation renovates bathrooms across Bexley, fitting family bathrooms, en-suites and wet rooms into the 1930s semis and interwar homes of Bexleyheath, Sidcup and Welling. Working throughout DA5, DA6, DA7 and SE2, we handle the waterproofing, drainage, tiling and heating in one job. With 30+ years in the borough, we build bathrooms that stay watertight for years.
Wet rooms and en-suites in Bexley semis
Fitting a second bathroom into a 1930s Bexley semi usually means borrowing space, from a corner of a bedroom for an en-suite to the box room above the stairs. We work out where the soil pipe and drainage can run, add proper mechanical ventilation to clear the moisture, and tank the walls and floor before a single tile goes on. Getting the waterproofing right first is what keeps a period house dry.
Wet rooms suit these houses well, doing away with the tray and giving a level, walk-in shower that is easy to use and easy to clean. On the timber suspended floors common in interwar semis we reinforce and prepare the deck, lay a bonded waterproof membrane, and set the falls so water runs to the drain. Underfloor heating beneath the tiles takes the chill off the solid, north-facing bathrooms these houses often have.
Watertight family bathrooms across Bexley
The main family bathroom in a Bexley semi is often the original small room, tiled decades ago and long past its best. We strip it back, renew the concealed plumbing and waste, and re-plan the layout so a bath, a decent shower and storage all fit. Space-saving fittings, a wall-hung basin and a shower over the bath make the most of the modest footprint these interwar rooms were built with.
Behind the tiles, the detail matters. We use tanking and quality waterproofing around the wet zones, seal the junctions properly and ventilate the room so the damp that plagues older Bexley houses does not take hold. New bathroom electrics, from the shower to the extractor and the lighting, are notifiable under building regulations and certificated accordingly. The result is a warm, dry, easy-to-clean bathroom finished to last.
