GS Renovation fits bathrooms, en-suites and wet rooms across Hoxton's Victorian and Edwardian terraces, making the most of the tight spaces these period homes offer. With over 30 years in N1, we handle the waterproofing, drainage, tiling and heating in-house, turning dated bathrooms and awkward closet-wing spaces into properly built, hard-wearing rooms that last.
Wet rooms and waterproofing in Hoxton
A bathroom fails when the waterproofing is skipped, so every one we build in Hoxton is fully tanked before a single tile goes on. For wet rooms and walk-in showers we form the falls, fit a bonded tanking membrane across floor and walls, and set the drainage so water runs cleanly away. This matters even more in these terraces, where bathrooms often sit above living space or a neighbour's ceiling and a leak causes real damage.
Drainage and ventilation are just as important as the finish. Hoxton's closet-wing bathrooms usually have long waste runs to the soil stack, so we set the falls correctly and upgrade the pipework where the old runs are undersized or sluggish. Suspended timber floors flex, so we overboard and decouple before tiling to stop grout and tiles cracking, and we fit proper extraction to clear the moisture that rots joists and blackens grout in these solid-walled homes.
Space-saving bathrooms in Hoxton terraces
Space is the constant challenge in a Hoxton terrace, where the bathroom is often squeezed into the rear closet wing or carved out of a landing. We plan every millimetre, using wall-hung basins and WCs, walk-in showers in place of bulky tubs, and recessed niches to keep the walls clear. Where owners are converting the loft, we design en-suites that thread the plumbing and drainage down through the house to the existing soil stack.
Underfloor heating works well in these rooms, freeing up the wall space taken by radiators and warming cold solid floors, and we run it under tile with the controls and insulation done properly. We match the finish to the age of the house, from classic metro tiling and traditional fittings to sharp contemporary schemes, and handle the plumbing, electrics, tiling and decoration as one job so the bathroom is delivered complete and ready to use.
