GS Renovation fits bathrooms and en-suites across Peckham, working within the Victorian and Edwardian terraces of SE15. With more than 30 years in Southwark, we handle full waterproofing, drainage, tiling and underfloor heating, making the most of the awkward closet-wing spaces that period homes near Peckham Rye so often leave to the bathroom.
Wet rooms and tanking in Peckham period homes
Water and old buildings do not forgive shortcuts, so every Peckham bathroom we build starts with proper waterproofing. We tank walls and floors before tiling, form the falls carefully around walk-in showers and wet rooms, and make sure drainage and mechanical ventilation are sized to clear moisture from a solid-walled SE15 house. That is what keeps a period terrace free of damp long after the job is finished.
Underfloor heating suits these homes well, warming a tiled floor that would otherwise feel cold over suspended timber or solid ground floors. We build up the layers correctly so the heating, the tanking and the tiles all work together. Done properly, a Peckham bathroom looks sharp on day one and stays sound for years, which is exactly what a Victorian house needs from a wet room.
Space-saving bathrooms in SE15 closet wings
The bathroom in a Peckham terrace usually sits in the rear closet wing, a narrow space that punishes a lazy layout. We plan the suite around the room's real dimensions, using wall-hung units, compact showers and considered storage to make a tight footprint feel generous. Where the plumbing allows, we relocate the soil connection and rework the drainage to open up a better arrangement.
Adding an en-suite to a main bedroom is popular across SE15, and we find the space by borrowing from a landing, a chimney recess or an oversized bedroom. We handle the drainage, ventilation and notifiable electrics to building regulations, tile to a high standard and match the finish to the character of the house, whether you want a crisp modern room or something softer to suit the period.
