GS Renovation fits bathrooms, en-suites and wet rooms across Camberwell, making the most of tight spaces in SE5's Georgian and Victorian townhouses. With more than 30 years across Southwark, we handle waterproofing, drainage, tiling, heating and ventilation in-house, delivering bathrooms that work reliably in older homes where the plumbing and floors demand extra care.
Wet rooms and waterproofing in Camberwell
Waterproofing is where a Camberwell bathroom succeeds or fails. In period townhouses with timber floors and old plaster, we tank the walls and floor properly before tiling, forming a continuous waterproof layer that protects the structure below. For wet rooms and walk-in showers, we set the falls correctly so water drains cleanly, and we upgrade the drainage and ventilation to prevent damp taking hold in SE5's solid-walled homes.
Underfloor heating suits Camberwell bathrooms well, warming tiled floors that would otherwise feel cold in an old townhouse and freeing up wall space taken by radiators. We run the plumbing and electrics to current standards, with notifiable work certified under building regulations. From large family bathrooms to compact shower rooms, we tile, seal and finish to a standard that stands up to daily use for years to come.
En-suites and space-saving layouts in Camberwell
Adding an en-suite to a Camberwell bedroom, or fitting a bathroom into an awkward SE5 corner, calls for careful planning. We work out where soil pipes and waste can run within a period structure, then design a layout that fits real fixtures without feeling cramped. Wall-hung basins, compact showers and clever storage help us make the most of the tight footprints so common in these older townhouses.
Period Camberwell homes rarely offer generous bathroom space, so every centimetre counts. We reconfigure existing rooms, borrow space from landings or cupboards where it makes sense, and choose sanitaryware scaled to the room. Ventilation is planned in from the start to keep the space healthy, and the tiling, heating and lighting are finished to suit the character of the house. Internal bathroom work like this needs no planning permission.
