GS Renovation creates bathrooms, en-suites and wet rooms across Brixton, working within the tight footprints of SW2's Victorian and Edwardian terraces. With more than 30 years in Lambeth, we handle the waterproofing, drainage, tiling, heating and electrics as one job, turning awkward closet-wing bathrooms and unused corners into calm, hard-wearing spaces built to last.
Wet rooms and tanking in Brixton
Many Brixton bathrooms sit in the rear closet wing, a single storey back addition where the floor and walls need proper waterproofing before anything else. We tank the room with a fully bonded membrane, form the falls to the drain and only then tile, so water goes where it should and not into the structure. For a walk-in shower or full wet room, this tanking is the difference between a bathroom that lasts and one that leaks.
Older SW2 terraces bring drainage and ventilation challenges, and we plan for both. Moving a soil connection or adding a shower waste often means reworking pipework in a back addition, which we set out to fall correctly. Good extraction is essential in these solid-walled rooms to control condensation, so we fit proper ventilation and, where the electrics are involved, certify the work under building regulations. Underfloor heating keeps a tiled period bathroom warm underfoot.
Space-saving en-suites across Brixton
Brixton's terraces rarely offer spare square footage, so creating an en-suite usually means borrowing space from a bedroom, a landing or the box room over the stairs. We plan these tight layouts carefully, choosing a compact shower, a wall-hung basin and concealed cistern to free up floor space and light. Careful positioning of the drainage and a slim-profile design mean even a small SW2 bedroom can gain a genuinely usable en-suite.
A family bathroom in a Brixton terrace works hardest when the layout is thought through. We make the most of alcoves and the space beneath a sloping closet-wing roof, choose sanitaryware scaled to the room and use large-format tiles or clever storage to make it feel bigger. From the tanking and pipework to the tiling, heating and lighting, one GS Renovation team fits the whole bathroom, working cleanly in your occupied home.
