GS Renovation renovates bathrooms throughout Kentish Town, fitting out the period homes of NW5 from compact family bathrooms to loft en-suites near Highgate and Hampstead. With over 30 years of experience, we handle the waterproofing, drainage, tiling, heating and fit-out in-house, delivering watertight, well-ventilated rooms that make the most of a Victorian terrace's tight footprint.
Wet rooms and waterproofing in NW5 homes
Getting a bathroom watertight in a Kentish Town terrace starts long before the tiles go on. We fully tank the walls and floor, bond the waterproof membrane into the corners and around the pipe penetrations, and lay proper falls to the drain so a wet room or walk-in shower never leaks into the timber floors below. In these older NW5 houses that discipline protects the joists and the ceilings of the rooms beneath.
Drainage and ventilation get the same attention. We rework the soil and waste runs to suit the new layout rather than forcing fixtures onto old positions, and we fit effective extraction to clear moisture, which matters in solid-wall Victorian houses prone to condensation. Underfloor heating warms the tiled floor and helps keep the room dry, and the notifiable electrical work is certified under Building Regulations at completion.
Space-saving bathrooms for Kentish Town terraces
Bathrooms in NW5 terraces are often squeezed into a former closet wing or a slice of a rear bedroom, so clever planning matters more than size. We use wall-hung basins and toilets, slimline shower enclosures and recessed niches to reclaim every inch, and we build fitted storage into awkward alcoves. Where a family bathroom feels cramped, reconfiguring the layout can create a far more usable room from the same footprint.
Loft and bedroom en-suites are increasingly popular in Kentish Town, and sloping ceilings and long pipe runs make them a specialist job. We position the shower under the highest part of the roof, run the drainage back to the stack correctly, and boost the flow with a pump where the pressure needs it. Internal bathroom work needs no planning permission, so a well-planned en-suite is often quicker to deliver than owners expect.
