GS Renovation renovates bathrooms across Hornchurch, from family bathrooms in 1930s semis to new en-suites and wet rooms in interwar houses throughout RM11. With more than 30 years in Havering, we handle the waterproofing, drainage, ventilation, tiling and heating as a complete job, so the finished room is watertight and built to cope with daily use.
Wet rooms and tanking in Hornchurch homes
A wet room or a level-access walk-in shower is a popular upgrade in Hornchurch, whether to modernise a dated bathroom or to make one that works long term. These installations only succeed if the waterproofing is done properly, so we tank the floor and walls, form the falls to the drain and seal every junction before a single tile goes on. Skipping this stage is the usual cause of leaks in older houses.
Interwar houses often have solid or suspended timber floors that need the right build-up to take a wet room, along with drainage that has to be rerouted to suit the new layout. We upgrade extraction so moisture is removed rather than left to damage plaster, and we handle the notifiable electrics for showers and heating under building regulations. The result is a wet room that stays dry outside the shower zone.
En-suites and space-saving layouts in RM11
Adding an en-suite to a Hornchurch bedroom, or reworking a small original bathroom, is largely a question of clever planning. In interwar houses we borrow space from a landing, an oversized bedroom or a redundant airing cupboard, then design the layout so the door, basin and shower do not fight each other. Wall-hung fittings and a slim shower enclosure free up floor space in a tight room.
We finish these rooms to last, with underfloor heating for warmth without a bulky radiator, quality tiling laid on properly prepared surfaces, and ventilation sized for the space. Plumbing and drainage are reworked to reach the new position, and the electrics are certified under building regulations. Because internal bathroom work needs no planning permission, the focus stays entirely on getting the waterproofing, layout and finish right for your specific house.
