GS Renovation renovates bathrooms across Golders Green, working within the tight upstairs spaces of NW11's Victorian and Edwardian terraces. With over 30 years of experience in North London, we deliver fully waterproofed bathrooms, wet rooms and en-suites, handling the drainage, tiling, ventilation and heating so everything works reliably and lasts.
Waterproofing bathrooms in Golders Green terraces
Bathrooms in NW11 terraces are frequently squeezed into the rear closet wing or a boxed-off corner of a bedroom, often with older plumbing and poor ventilation. Before any tiling goes up, we tank and waterproof the walls and floor properly, which matters in wet rooms and walk-in showers where water is not contained by a tray. Done correctly, this prevents damp, leaks and the problems that plague poorly built bathrooms.
Ventilation and drainage need real thought in these older homes. We fit extraction that clears moisture properly, upgrade waste runs where the falls are inadequate, and address any existing damp before the new bathroom goes in. Underfloor heating is a popular addition, warming tiled floors that would otherwise feel cold, and it frees up wall space by removing the radiator, which is valuable in a compact period bathroom.
En-suites and layouts in Golders Green homes
Adding an en-suite to a main bedroom is a common request in these larger period houses, borrowing space from an oversized bedroom or a landing. The challenge is running new hot, cold and waste pipes discreetly through a solid-walled house and keeping the drainage falls right. We plan the layout so the fittings work in a small footprint, using compact sanitaryware and walk-in showers to make the space feel generous.
For family bathrooms we make the most of awkward period proportions, fitting the bath under a sloping ceiling or building storage into an alcove beside the chimney breast. Tiling, underfloor heating, ventilation and lighting are all handled by our own team, and the notifiable electrical work is installed to building regulations. From a full family bathroom to a compact en-suite, we finish to a standard built for daily use.
