GS Renovation renovates bathrooms across Dalston, fitting wet rooms, en-suites and family bathrooms into the Victorian and Edwardian terraces of E8. With over 30 years in Hackney, we handle the waterproofing, the drainage, the tiling and the heating as one job, so your new bathroom is properly tanked and built to cope with a period home.
Waterproofing and wet rooms in Dalston
A bathroom in a Dalston terrace lives or dies on its waterproofing. We tank the walls and floor properly before a single tile goes down, so a walk-in shower or full wet room stays watertight for years rather than leaking into the timber floors below. Correct falls to the drain, good ventilation and a well-sealed enclosure all matter in older E8 houses where moisture has nowhere easy to escape.
Many Dalston bathrooms sit in the rear closet wing or a converted box room, so the layout has to earn every inch. We plan compact suites, walk-in showers and clever storage to suit tight period proportions, then finish with quality tiling, underfloor heating and lighting that make a small space feel considered rather than cramped.
En-suites and drainage in E8 terraces
Adding an en-suite to a Dalston bedroom or squeezing a second bathroom into the roof means running new drainage and waste through a solid-wall terrace, which takes planning to do neatly. We route pipework sensibly, upgrade ventilation to prevent damp, and set the levels so waste runs away cleanly, all common challenges in E8's older housing stock.
The electrical work in a bathroom is notifiable under building regulations, so extractor fans, heated towel rails, underfloor heating and lighting are installed and certified correctly for a wet environment. Internal bathroom work does not need planning permission, and because we handle the tanking, plumbing, electrics, tiling and heating in-house, you deal with one team from strip-out to the finished, fully sealed room.
