GS Renovation renovates bathrooms and en-suites across Borough and SE1, making the most of the compact spaces found in Southwark's Victorian and Edwardian terraces. With over 30 years of experience, we handle waterproofing, drainage, tiling and heating as one job, on homes from near the South Bank to the terraces stretching towards Dulwich.
Space-saving bathrooms in Borough terraces
Bathrooms in Borough terraces are often tucked into the rear closet wing or carved from a small upstairs room, so clever layout matters more than anything. We plan walk-in showers, wall-hung basins and concealed cisterns to free up floor space, and we can create a compact en-suite off a main bedroom where the plumbing allows. Working within the tight dimensions of these SE1 homes is exactly the sort of problem we solve every week.
Getting the services right in a period terrace takes care. We reroute or upgrade the drainage, which in these older houses is not always where you would want it, and we add proper mechanical ventilation to protect the solid walls from damp. Underfloor heating is a popular addition, warming the room and removing the need for a bulky radiator in a bathroom where every centimetre counts.
Waterproofing and wet rooms in SE1
Reliable waterproofing is the foundation of any bathroom we build in Borough. Before a single tile goes on, we tank the wet areas thoroughly, sealing the substrate so water cannot reach the timber floors and solid walls behind. This matters especially in a wet room, where the whole floor drains, and it protects both your home and the neighbours below in these closely built terraces.
Once the room is properly tanked we tile to a high standard, fit the shower, sanitaryware and heating, and finish the ventilation and lighting. The bathroom electrics are notified under building regulations, which we arrange for you. Whether you want a full wet room, a walk-in shower or a family bathroom that suits the character of your Victorian or Edwardian home, we deliver it watertight and built to last.
