GS Renovation renovates bathrooms across Camden, from compact en-suites in Camden Town flats to family bathrooms in Hampstead and Highgate townhouses. With over 30 years in NW1, NW3, NW5, N6 and N7, we handle the tanking, drainage, tiling, heating and electrics, designing layouts that work within the tight footprints of period homes.
Wet rooms and waterproofing in Camden
A wet room or walk-in shower only lasts if the waterproofing is done properly, which matters even more in Camden's period buildings with timber floors and flats stacked above neighbours. We fully tank the area, forming falls to the drainage, sealing the joints and boarding out before a single tile is laid. Getting the substrate and membrane right first is what prevents leaks reaching the flat or room below.
Ventilation and drainage are planned to suit the property, whether that means running a new soil connection in a Kentish Town terrace or upgrading extraction in a converted flat. We add underfloor heating where it helps, tile to a high standard and finish with the sanitaryware and screens. Electrical work in the bathroom is notifiable under building regulations, so it is carried out and certified correctly.
Space-saving bathrooms in Camden period homes
Period Camden houses were not built with modern bathrooms in mind, so a WC squeezed into a return or an en-suite carved from a bedroom corner demands clever planning. We design layouts that use every inch, choosing wall-hung sanitaryware, walk-in showers and slim fittings to open up small rooms while keeping them practical. Awkward slopes under a Georgian roof or a tight box room become usable, well-proportioned spaces.
In leasehold flats we coordinate with the freeholder and managing agent where consents or building-management rules apply, and pay attention to sound insulation and waterproofing between flats. For listed homes and conservation areas across Camden we work within the council's requirements, protecting original features while delivering a warm, well-drained and fully tiled bathroom that suits the character of the house.
