GS Renovation renovates bathrooms across Palmers Green, from compact family bathrooms to en-suites and walk-in wet rooms in the area's Victorian and Edwardian terraces. With more than 30 years in N13 and the Enfield borough, we handle the waterproofing, drainage, tiling, heating and electrics in-house, so a period home gets a bathroom that is watertight and built to last.
Wet rooms and tanking in Palmers Green
A leaking bathroom in a Victorian or Edwardian terrace causes real damage to lath-and-plaster ceilings and timber floors below, so we never cut corners on waterproofing. Every wet room and walk-in shower we build is fully tanked before a single tile goes on, with the membrane taken up the walls and across the floor and the falls set so water runs to the drain rather than pooling in the corners of an N13 bathroom.
Drainage and ventilation get the same attention. We route waste properly for the new layout, upgrade extraction so steam does not sit in the room and rot the plaster, and add underfloor heating where the floor build-up allows. Done together, tanking, drainage and ventilation are what keep a period-house bathroom dry and healthy long after the tiling is finished.
Space-saving layouts for N13 period homes
Bathrooms in Palmers Green terraces are often carved out of the closet wing or a small rear room, so every centimetre counts. We plan the layout to fit real fittings into the space you have, wall-hung basins and toilets to free the floor, walk-in showers instead of bulky enclosures, and recessed niches let into the wall so there is nowhere for clutter to gather.
En-suites are a popular addition upstairs, borrowing space from a bedroom or the landing where the structure allows. We handle the drainage runs, the ventilation and the notifiable electrics that a new bathroom needs under building regulations, and tile and finish it to match the character of the house. The result is a practical, well-lit bathroom that suits an Edwardian home rather than fighting its proportions.
