GS Renovation renovates bathrooms across Edgware and the HA8 postcode, working within the 1930s semi-detached and interwar houses that fill the area. With more than 30 years of experience in Barnet, we deliver fully waterproofed bathrooms, wet rooms and en-suites, handling the tanking, drainage, tiling and finishing as one team.
Waterproofing and wet rooms in Edgware
A bathroom that lasts starts with proper waterproofing. In Edgware's interwar houses, where floors and walls can be uneven after decades of settlement, we tank the wet areas thoroughly before any tile goes on, so water never reaches the structure behind. For a wet room or walk-in shower, the tanking, the falls to the drain and the ventilation all have to be right, and we detail these carefully to avoid the damp problems that plague poorly built bathrooms.
We handle the drainage and extraction that older houses often lack, running new soil and waste connections and fitting effective ventilation to clear moisture. Underfloor heating can be laid beneath the tiles for comfort and to help the room dry, and we finish with fully tiled walls and floors. The result is a bathroom that stays dry, warm and sound in your HA8 home for years.
En-suites and layouts for HA8 homes
The bathrooms in Edgware's 1930s semis are often small and awkwardly shaped, tucked over the stairs or squeezed beside a chimney breast. We plan space-saving layouts that make the most of a tight period footprint, choosing sanitaryware and shower enclosures that suit the room rather than crowd it, and using the alcoves that interwar houses tend to offer.
Adding an en-suite to a main or spare bedroom is a popular upgrade in these houses, and we manage the new drainage, waterproofing, ventilation and electrics that it requires. The notifiable electrical work in a bathroom is carried out and certified under building regulations. From a compact en-suite to a full family bathroom, we deliver a watertight, well-ventilated room finished to a high standard across your Edgware home.
