GS Renovation refits bathrooms and builds wet rooms in Borehamwood, starting with the parts that fail first: tanking, floor falls, drainage and ventilation. Tiling, brassware and heating follow once those are right. Plumbing and notified electrics are handled by our own coordinated trades, under one point of contact from strip out to snagging.
Bathrooms in Borehamwood's purpose built flats
The 2021 Census recorded 4,484 households in purpose built blocks of flats across the four Borehamwood wards. A bathroom in a flat has somebody living underneath it, and that changes the risk. A failed seal in a house damages your own ceiling. The same failure in a flat damages a neighbour's, which turns a repair into a liability question as well.
So the hidden work is where the money should go. We tank the wet area fully before any tiling, set the floor falls to the drain rather than trusting the existing gradient, and check the waste run can serve the layout you want. Ventilation matters as much, because an internal bathroom with no openable window depends entirely on extraction to clear moisture.
Owner occupied homes and a bathroom that lasts
The 2021 Census recorded 7,262 owner occupied households across the four Borehamwood wards, 2,927 owned outright and 4,335 owned with a mortgage or loan. If you own the house, a bathroom refit is a long term decision rather than a quick refresh ahead of a sale, so the sensible place to spend is on the parts nobody will ever see.
That means the substrate behind the tiles, the tanking membrane, a properly graded waste and adequate extraction. Underfloor heating helps a solid floor bathroom dry between uses. Bathroom electrics are notifiable and are installed and certified to current standards. We carry out the plumbing, tiling, heating and electrical coordination as one job, so there is nobody left to blame if something leaks.
- Pressure and leak testing before any tiling starts

The GS Renovation Difference in Borehamwood
Bathrooms fail behind the tiles, not on them. We tank the wet area, grade the falls, size the waste and sort the extraction before a single tile is fixed, then finish the room properly. Plumbing, tiling, heating and notified electrics come from one coordinated team with one point of contact. Fully insured, free no obligation quotations.
- Waste cleared as we go, not left piled in the garden
- Structural engineer instructed and coordinated on your behalf
- Full tanking behind tiles and across shower floors
- Concealed frames and cisterns set out for the finished tile line
- Tile setting out planned so cuts land where they are not seen
- Clean, tidy and reliable tradespeople
