GS Renovation renovates bathrooms across Eltham, working within the layouts of 1930s semi-detached and interwar houses where space is often tight upstairs. With over 30 years of experience in SE9 and the Royal Borough of Greenwich, we deliver fully waterproofed, well-drained bathrooms and en-suites finished to a lasting standard.
Waterproofing and wet rooms in Eltham homes
A bathroom that lasts starts with proper waterproofing. Before any tile goes on, we tank the walls and floor in wet areas so moisture cannot track into the structure of an older SE9 house. For walk-in showers and full wet rooms we install the correct falls, drainage and a sealed substrate, which matters in interwar homes where original floors are not always level and hidden leaks can rot timbers over time.
Ventilation is just as important as tanking. Eltham bathrooms in these houses can suffer from condensation and damp if extraction is poor, so we fit properly rated extractor fans and, where needed, improve the airflow. Add underfloor heating, quality tiling and good lighting, and the room stays warm, dry and free of the mould that plagues neglected bathrooms in period property.
En-suites and space-saving layouts in SE9
Interwar Eltham houses often have a generous main bedroom that can give up a corner for an en-suite, or a boxroom that suits a compact shower room. We plan the layout carefully around existing soil pipes and joists, since moving drainage in these homes takes thought rather than guesswork. Careful positioning of the WC, basin and shower makes even a small space feel usable rather than cramped.
In the family bathroom, small changes to the layout can free up real room, such as swapping a bulky bath for a walk-in shower or repositioning the basin to open the floor. Bathroom electrics are notifiable under building regulations, so we certify new circuits and zoned lighting correctly. The result is a bathroom that fits the proportions of a 1930s SE9 house and works for a busy household.
