GS Renovation builds bathrooms and en-suites across Notting Hill, fitting modern waterproof spaces into Georgian and Regency townhouses in W11. With over 30 years in the Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea, we handle the tanking, drainage, tiling, heating and ventilation so a new bathroom performs reliably within an old period house.
Wet rooms and waterproofing in Notting Hill
Putting a wet room or walk-in shower into a Notting Hill townhouse starts with proper tanking, because a leak in a multi-storey W11 house travels straight into the floors and ceilings below. We fully waterproof the shower zone before a single tile goes down, form correct falls to the drainage, and set out ventilation so damp does not sit in the fabric of a period building.
Drainage in older Notting Hill houses can be awkward, with soil pipes and runs set for a different layout, so we plan the connections carefully rather than forcing a fitting where it will not drain. Underfloor heating adds comfort without wall-mounted radiators eating into a small room, and considered tiling and lighting turn a functional space into one that suits the house.
En-suites and space-saving layouts in W11
Period Notting Hill bedrooms rarely came with en-suites, so adding one usually means winning space from a landing, cupboard or corner of a room. We design compact layouts that make a tight footprint work, choosing walk-in showers, wall-hung sanitaryware and clever storage so a small W11 en-suite still feels calm rather than cramped, and we route the plumbing and extraction to where they can actually go.
In these homes the challenge is fitting current standards of waterproofing, drainage and ventilation into an existing structure without harming original features nearby. We tank and tile to last, protect adjoining period fabric, and where the house is listed we advise on consent before altering anything of character. The finished bathroom looks right for the property and holds up to daily use.

The GS Renovation Difference in Notting Hill
Bathrooms in period Notting Hill houses fail when waterproofing and drainage are treated as afterthoughts, and 30+ years in W11 has taught GS Renovation to do them first. We tank properly, plan drainage and ventilation around an old structure, and fit space-saving en-suites that respect the house. One team, tidy work, and a bathroom built to stay dry.
