GS Renovation refurbishes bathrooms across New Cross, making the most of the compact spaces found in SE14's bay-fronted Victorian and Edwardian terraces. With over 30 years in Lewisham, we deliver full bathrooms, en-suites and wet rooms with proper waterproofing, ventilation and drainage, tiled and finished to last in period homes.
Waterproofing and wet rooms in New Cross
A bathroom only lasts if the waterproofing is right, so in New Cross we tank walls and floors properly before a single tile goes on. This matters especially in a wet room or walk-in shower, where the whole floor takes water, and in the upper-floor bathrooms common in these terraces, where a leak would carry straight through to the room below. We form falls to the drain and bond the tanking into the substrate.
Many SE14 bathrooms sit in a converted rear closet wing or a boxed return where the original drainage was never designed for a modern suite. We rework the soil and waste runs to fall correctly, add proper extraction to clear moisture from these enclosed spaces, and make sure the ventilation meets building regulations. Getting the unseen work right is what stops damp, mould and failed grout appearing a year later.
Space-saving bathrooms for SE14 terraces
Period New Cross homes rarely offer a generous bathroom, so clever planning does the heavy lifting. We design layouts that fit a walk-in shower, basin and toilet into a tight footprint, using wall-hung fittings and slim profiles to keep the floor clear and the room feeling larger. Underfloor heating frees the walls of a radiator and warms the tiled floor, which suits these often north-facing return bathrooms.
Squeezing an en-suite out of a bedroom or a landing is a frequent SE14 request, and the trick is running drainage and ventilation to the new position without disrupting the rest of the house. We tile, fit the underfloor heating and complete the electrics, all of which are notifiable under building regulations in a bathroom. The result is a practical, well-finished space that respects the character of the terrace.
