GS Renovation fits bathrooms, en-suites and wet rooms throughout Camden Town, making the most of the modest rooms and closet wings found in NW1's Victorian and Edwardian terraces. With more than 30 years of experience, we handle the waterproofing, drainage, tiling and heating in-house, so a small period bathroom ends up watertight, warm and genuinely usable.
Waterproofing period bathrooms in Camden Town
Bathrooms in Camden Town terraces often sit in a first-floor closet wing or a converted return, so getting the waterproofing right matters. We tank the walls and floor properly behind the tiles, pay close attention to the tray or wet-room former, and make sure drainage falls correctly given the older pipework these NW1 houses were built with. Done well, that removes the leaks and damp that plague quick refits.
Ventilation is the other half of the job in a period house. We fit proper extraction so moisture is cleared rather than left to soak into solid walls, which protects your new tiling and plaster. Bathroom electrics are notifiable under building regulations, so the wiring for lighting, shaver points and any heated element is installed to zone requirements and certified on completion.
Space-saving layouts for NW1 homes
Space is tight in a Camden Town terrace, so a good bathroom is really about clever planning. We design walk-in showers and compact wet rooms that make a small room feel bigger, choose fittings that suit the wall runs, and carve out en-suites from awkward corners of a bedroom or the top of a closet wing without wasting an inch of the footprint.
Underfloor heating frees the walls of radiators and warms these often cold period rooms from the ground up, and it sits neatly under tile or stone. We tile fully, set the lighting to work in a windowless internal room, and finish the space so it feels considered rather than squeezed in, whatever the size of your NW1 bathroom.
