GS Renovation refits bathrooms and en-suites across Hackney, from compact terraced houses near London Fields to warehouse conversions in Shoreditch and Hoxton. With over 30 years in E5, E8, E9 and N16, we handle the waterproofing, drainage, tiling and heating, whether you are a leaseholder in a modern block or the owner of a period home.
Waterproofing bathrooms in Hackney flats
In Hackney's conversions and new-build apartments, a bathroom sits above someone else's ceiling, so getting the waterproofing right is not optional. We fully tank the walls and floors before tiling, form falls to the drainage, and detail wet rooms and walk-in showers so water goes where it should. Reliable extraction and ventilation keep moisture down in flats where the windows are often fixed or limited in the bathroom.
Because moving soil pipes and waste in a leasehold flat affects the units below, we plan the drainage carefully and confirm what the lease and managing agent permit before altering services. Sound and waterproofing details are built to meet building regulations, and any notifiable electrical work near the bathroom is certified. The result is a clean, well-sealed en-suite or bathroom that protects your flat and the ones around it.
Space-saving bathrooms in Hackney terraces
Period terraces around Victoria Park and Stoke Newington often have the bathroom squeezed into a rear closet wing or a converted box room. We make the most of tight footprints with space-saving layouts, walk-in showers and fittings scaled to the room, without the space ever feeling cramped. Underfloor heating frees up wall space and warms the tiled floor these older, sometimes draughty homes benefit from most.
Solid floors and old joists in Hackney terraces need proper preparation, so we strengthen and level where required, then tank and tile for a lasting finish. We upgrade the drainage and ventilation, add en-suites where a bedroom allows, and route new pipework sympathetically through the period structure. Notifiable electrical work is certified under building regulations, and we make good so the bathroom sits naturally within the character of the house.
