GS Renovation fits bathrooms and en-suites across Clapham, working within the tight footprints of SW4's Victorian and Edwardian terraces. With over 30 years in South London, we handle waterproofing, drainage, tiling and heating in-house, turning cramped or dated rooms near the Common into properly finished, hard-wearing spaces.
Waterproofing and wet rooms in Clapham
Bathrooms in older Clapham terraces are frequently squeezed into the rear closet wing or a boxed-in landing, where a hidden leak can quietly damage the period fabric below. We tank and waterproof properly before tiling, so wet rooms and walk-in showers stay watertight for the long term rather than failing a few years in and soaking the joists.
Getting the services right matters as much as the finish. We upgrade drainage to fall correctly, add proper ventilation to deal with condensation in these solid-wall rooms, and set out underfloor heating where the floor build-up allows. The tiling, sanitaryware and lighting then go in over a sound, well-drained base that will not give trouble later.
Space-saving layouts for SW4 period homes
Space is the constant challenge in an SW4 bathroom. The closet-wing rooms and narrow landings of Clapham terraces rarely offer much floor area, so we plan the layout carefully, using wall-hung units, walk-in showers and considered storage to make a small room feel usable rather than cramped, without wasting an inch of the footprint you have.
En-suites are a popular addition when we reconfigure the upper floors of a Clapham house, carving one out of a bedroom or a redundant box room. Bathroom work does not need planning permission, though the electrics are notifiable under building regulations, so we certify the wiring and extract properly and leave you with paperwork that stands up when you sell.
