GS Renovation renovates bathrooms and en-suites across Holland Park, working within the bay-fronted Victorian and Edwardian terraces and substantial period villas of W11. With more than 30 years in the Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea, we deliver fully waterproofed, well-drained bathrooms and wet rooms that make the most of the space these older homes allow.
Wet rooms and waterproofing in Holland Park
A bathroom in a Holland Park period home only lasts if the waterproofing is done properly. We tank the walls and floor before tiling, so wet rooms and walk-in showers stay watertight for the long term rather than leaking into the structure below. In these solid-walled terraces and villas that detail is critical, because water finding its way into old lath and plaster or timber joists causes expensive damage.
Alongside the tanking we sort the parts homeowners often overlook. We upgrade drainage falls so showers run away cleanly, add proper mechanical ventilation to control condensation in rooms with little natural airflow, and lay underfloor heating under stone or porcelain tiles. Done together, these make a W11 bathroom that is comfortable, dry and genuinely durable.
Space-saving layouts for W11 homes
Bathrooms in Holland Park terraces are frequently tucked into the rear closet wing or a narrow return, so every centimetre counts. We design layouts that fit a proper shower, basin and WC into an awkward footprint, using wall-hung sanitaryware, slim fittings and clever storage to keep the room feeling open rather than cramped.
Adding an en-suite to a main bedroom is another popular W11 request, and it usually means finding new drainage runs and routing services discreetly through the period structure. We plan the pipework and ventilation before a single tile goes down, and where a new soil connection is needed we work it into the design early. The new electrics are notifiable under building regulations, which we take care of.
