GS Renovation fits bathrooms and en-suites across Havering, working in the interwar semis and suburban family homes that fill RM1 to RM14. With over 30 years from Romford to Upminster, we handle the full job, from stripping out and tanking through drainage, ventilation, tiling and underfloor heating to a finished, watertight bathroom or wet room.
Wet rooms and en-suites in Havering
The 1930s semis of Havering were built with a single family bathroom, often over the hallway or above the kitchen, so adding an en-suite or a second bathroom is a frequent request. In these homes we carve space from a large main bedroom or the landing, and we design compact, well-planned layouts that fit without feeling cramped. Every wet area is properly tanked and waterproofed before tiling, so moisture never reaches the timber floors of an interwar house.
Walk-in showers and full wet rooms are popular in RM11 and RM12 homes, whether for a sleek modern finish or to make a bathroom easier to use over time. A wet room needs the floor tanked, the gradient formed correctly to the drain, and reliable extraction to manage humidity, all of which we build in from the start. We upgrade the drainage and soil connections where the original interwar pipework is undersized or in the wrong place.
Waterproofing and comfort across Havering
Getting a bathroom right in an older Havering home is as much about what sits behind the tiles as the tiles themselves. We tank showers and wet areas thoroughly, seal around trays and junctions, and detail the waterproofing so leaks never start. Ventilation matters just as much in these interwar houses, so we fit effective extraction to clear steam and protect the plaster and paintwork, keeping the room fresh and free of damp.
Underfloor heating under tiled or stone floors takes the chill off a north-facing Havering bathroom and frees up wall space by removing the radiator. We can pair it with heated towel rails, thermostatic showers and quality brassware to suit your budget. Bathroom electrics are notifiable under Building Regulations, so the wiring, extraction and any electric underfloor heating are installed and certified correctly. From a family bathroom in RM1 to an en-suite in RM14, we finish the whole room to a high standard.
