GS Renovation renovates bathrooms across Ruislip, working within the room sizes and layouts typical of the area's 1930s and interwar houses. With over 30 years of experience in HA4 and across Hillingdon, we deliver fully waterproofed bathrooms, wet rooms and en-suites, handling the tanking, drainage, ventilation, tiling, underfloor heating and finishes in one go.
Waterproofing and wet rooms in Ruislip
A bathroom only lasts if the water stays where it should, so every Ruislip bathroom we build starts with proper waterproofing. We tank the shower area and wet zones with a bonded membrane behind the tiles, seal around the tray or gully and detail the junctions carefully, which matters in older interwar houses where timber floors and original walls move over time. Done correctly, tanking protects the structure below and stops the leaks that plague poorly built bathrooms.
Wet rooms and walk-in showers are popular in Ruislip, giving a clean, open feel and easier access. These rely on a fully tanked floor laid to fall toward the drain, with the drainage and soil connections planned before anything is tiled. We also make sure ventilation is right, fitting extraction that clears moisture properly, because these interwar houses were never designed for the way modern bathrooms are used, and good airflow keeps mould and damp at bay.
Space-saving en-suites in period Ruislip homes
Bathrooms in Ruislip's 1930s houses are often modest, and en-suites frequently have to be carved out of a bedroom corner or a landing cupboard. This is where careful planning earns its keep. We use compact sanitaryware, wall-hung units that free up floor space, sliding or well-placed doors, and clever tile choices to make a small room feel larger and work harder, all without losing the character of the period home around it.
Underfloor heating is a favourite upgrade here, warming the floor while freeing the walls of radiators in a tight room. We lay it under tile or stone, wire it into its own thermostat, and finish with tiling, lighting and the fittings you have chosen. Because bathroom electrics are notifiable under building regulations, we ensure the wiring, zones and RCD protection are correct and certified, so the finished room is as safe as it is comfortable.
