GS Renovation renovates bathrooms and en-suites across Parsons Green, making the most of the often tight spaces in the Victorian and Edwardian terraces near the green. With more than 30 years in SW6 and across Hammersmith and Fulham, we handle the waterproofing, drainage, tiling, heating and finish in-house, delivering a fully sealed, lasting bathroom.
Wet rooms and en-suites in Parsons Green
Bathrooms in Parsons Green terraces are frequently squeezed into the rear closet wing or carved from a spare corner, so the layout has to work hard. We design walk-in showers, wet rooms and compact en-suites that use every inch, choosing wall-hung sanitaryware, slimline trays and clever storage to keep a small SW6 room feeling open rather than cramped.
The foundation of any wet room is proper tanking. We fully waterproof the floor and walls before tiling, seal around the tray and pipe penetrations, and make sure the drainage falls correctly and the extraction clears moisture, which matters in the solid-walled period homes near the green where damp can otherwise take hold behind the finish.
Period bathrooms brought up to date in SW6
We renovate family bathrooms and add en-suites throughout Parsons Green, balancing the character of a Victorian or Edwardian terrace against modern comfort. Underfloor heating frees up wall space and warms cold solid floors, while considered tiling, lighting and heated rails give a period home a bathroom that feels contemporary without fighting the age of the house.
Behind the finish we upgrade the pipework and drainage that these SW6 homes often still carry, improve ventilation to protect the structure, and carry out the notifiable electrical work under building regulations. Bathrooms do not need planning permission, so we focus on getting the waterproofing, services and layout right for a durable result in your Parsons Green home.
Why tiles crack and how we prevent it
Cracked grout and drummy tiles in a period bathroom are almost always a substrate problem rather than a tiling one. A Victorian timber floor deflects when you walk on it, and rigid tile bedded straight onto floorboards has nowhere to go, so the joints fail within a year or two. The same applies to a stud wall that flexes when a door closes nearby.
The fix is in the build-up. Floors are overboarded with a suitable ply or a cement backer board, screwed at close centres, with a decoupling membrane where the span is lively or where underfloor heating is going in. Walls get backer board rather than standard plasterboard behind tiling in wet areas, over the tanking. Flexible adhesive and grout are used throughout, and movement joints are formed at the perimeters and internal corners rather than filling them solid with grout, which is what usually fails first in a tiled bathroom.
