GS Renovation renovates bathrooms and en-suites throughout Hendon, working within the 1930s semi-detached and interwar houses that define NW4. With more than 30 years of experience across Barnet, we take a bathroom from stripping out and waterproofing through to tiling, heating and the finished walk-in shower or family bathroom, all handled by one team.
Wet rooms and waterproofing in Hendon homes
A lasting bathroom starts behind the tiles, so we tank and waterproof the walls and floor properly before anything is fixed, which matters in Hendon's older interwar houses where original floors can flex. For a wet room or walk-in shower we form the falls, seal the substrate fully, and set the drainage and ventilation correctly so moisture is managed rather than left to cause damp.
Ventilation is often the weak point in these 1930s houses, where a small original bathroom had little more than an openable window. We fit proper extraction, run the drainage to suit the existing soil stack, and add underfloor heating where you want a warm, comfortable floor. Bathroom electrics are notifiable under the Building Regulations, so the wiring is certified as part of the work.
En-suites and space-saving layouts in NW4
Hendon's interwar semis often have a boxroom or a generous landing that can become a neat en-suite, giving a main bedroom its own shower without losing the family bathroom. We plan compact layouts that make the most of tight period spaces, choosing wall-hung sanitaryware and walk-in showers that keep the room feeling open while still working around the existing pipework.
In a loft conversion or over-extension we route the drainage and manage the reduced head height so the new shower or bath sits comfortably under the roofline. On the generous plots typical of NW4, adding an en-suite as part of a wider renovation is straightforward. We tile, heat, ventilate and finish each bathroom to a standard that suits the house and holds up over years of daily use.
