GS Renovation renovates bathrooms and en-suites across Catford, working within the compact spaces typical of SE6 Victorian and Edwardian terraces. With over 30 years in South East London, we handle the waterproofing, drainage, tiling, heating and fit-out, creating watertight, well-ventilated bathrooms and wet rooms that make the most of the room available.
Wet rooms and waterproofing in Catford homes
A bathroom lives or dies on what happens behind the tiles, which is why we tank and waterproof properly before anything is finished. In Catford terraces the bathroom often sits in the rear closet wing or over a cold external wall, so we apply a full tanking system to the shower area and floor, then lay tiles onto a stable, waterproof substrate. For walk-in showers and wet rooms we form the falls carefully so water runs to the drain and never sits.
Drainage and ventilation matter just as much in these older SE6 homes. We connect into the existing soil stack correctly, upgrade extraction to clear moisture and protect against the damp and mould that plague period bathrooms, and insulate where pipework runs against solid external walls. Get the fabric right and the finish lasts, rather than grout failing and tiles lifting a couple of winters later.
Space-saving bathrooms and en-suites in SE6
Space is the constant challenge in Catford's terraced houses, where bathrooms are often small and squeezed into the closet wing. We plan layouts that use the room properly, choosing wall-hung basins and toilets, compact walk-in showers and clever storage to make a tight footprint feel generous. Underfloor heating is a favourite here because it frees up wall space that a radiator would otherwise take.
Adding an en-suite is a common request as SE6 families reconfigure the upper floors, often carving one from a large bedroom or the landing. We handle the new drainage runs, the waterproofing, the ventilation and the tiling, and make sure the electrics are done to building regulations. Whether it is a main family bathroom or a compact en-suite, the aim is a practical, watertight room that suits a period Catford home.
