GS Renovation refits bathrooms throughout Holloway, from compact family bathrooms in N7 terraces to en-suites carved out of period bedrooms. With over 30 years across Islington, we handle the full job, tanking and waterproofing, drainage, ventilation, tiling, underfloor heating and the fittings, delivering wet rooms and walk-in showers that work in the tighter spaces typical of a Victorian home.
Wet rooms and en-suites in Holloway
Space is usually the challenge in a Holloway bathroom, whether it sits in the rear closet wing or in a room borrowed from a bedroom. We plan layouts that make the most of every inch, using walk-in showers, wall-hung basins and concealed cisterns to keep the floor clear. In a period terrace, fitting an en-suite often means routing new drainage and a soil connection carefully through existing joists, which we detail before any tiling begins.
Proper waterproofing is what makes a bathroom last, especially a wet room. We tank the walls and floor with a fully bonded system before tiling, so water cannot track into the timber structure of an older terrace. Falls are set correctly to the drain, ventilation is designed to clear moisture from rooms that often have no opening window, and any electrical work for showers, heating and lighting is certified under building regulations.
Space-saving bathrooms for N7 terraces
Many N7 bathrooms sit in the rear closet wing, a narrow room off the half-landing that leaves little room to work with. We use every trick to make these spaces feel larger, from large-format tiles and a wall-hung suite to a walk-in shower behind a single glass screen. Underfloor heating frees up wall space that a radiator would take, and recessed niches in the tiled wall give storage without eating into the footprint.
Where a Holloway family needs a second bathroom, we often find space for an en-suite or a downstairs shower room by borrowing from an oversized bedroom or an underused hallway. We handle the drainage, the waterproofing, the tiling and the fittings as one continuous job, so the room is watertight and finished properly. The result is a bathroom that suits modern life while fitting neatly into the constraints of a Victorian or Edwardian terrace.
