GS Renovation fits bathrooms, en-suites and wet rooms across Paddington's Georgian and Regency townhouses, where awkward proportions and older fabric call for careful work. With over 30 years in W2 and the wider Westminster area, we handle the waterproofing, drainage, tiling and finish so nothing is left to chance behind the walls.
Waterproofing period bathrooms in Paddington
Getting a bathroom right in a Paddington townhouse begins with what you cannot see. Older solid floors, timber joists and lath-and-plaster walls all demand proper tanking before a single tile goes down, particularly for a wet room or a walk-in shower. We fully waterproof the wet zones, upgrade drainage and ventilation to control moisture, and only then move on to the finishes.
Ventilation matters in these homes, where high humidity and original plaster do not mix, so we specify extraction that clears moisture and protects the fabric. Where a new soil or waste connection is needed on an upper floor, we plan the runs carefully within the existing structure. Doing the concealed work correctly is what keeps a period bathroom sound for years to come.
Space-saving bathroom layouts in Paddington homes
Period townhouses in W2 rarely offer generous bathroom space, so many of our projects convert a box room, a landing or part of a bedroom into a well-planned en-suite. We design layouts that make the most of tight footprints and awkward angles, using wall-hung sanitaryware, walk-in showers and concealed cisterns to keep the room feeling open despite its size.
Underfloor heating frees the walls of radiators and suits the cold solid floors common in these homes, while good tiling and lighting lift a small space. Notifiable electrical work is certified under building regulations, and in listed properties we confirm what Westminster City Council allows before altering anything of historic interest. The finished bathroom balances comfort, practicality and the character of the house.
