GS Renovation renovates bathrooms and en-suites across South Kensington, working with the tall Georgian and Regency townhouses of the museum quarter. With over 30 years of experience in SW7, we deliver fully waterproofed wet rooms, walk-in showers and space-saving layouts that suit the character and the constraints of a period home.
Waterproofing and wet rooms in South Kensington homes
A bathroom in a period South Kensington house sits above timber floors and original ceilings, so getting the waterproofing right is everything. We tank the walls and floor properly before tiling, form falls to the drainage in wet rooms and walk-in showers, and make sure ventilation is adequate so moisture does not damage the fabric of a Georgian or Regency building.
In SW7 townhouses the drainage runs are often long and awkward, and older soil pipes need careful connection. We handle the plumbing, the drainage and the extraction as a package, then add underfloor heating and tiling, so the finished room is both beautiful and technically sound where it counts most.
En-suites and space-saving layouts in South Kensington
The bedrooms of a South Kensington townhouse often have room to carve out an en-suite, and the tricky part is fitting drainage and ventilation into a period structure without spoiling the proportions of the house. We plan the layout so pipework routes sensibly, and choose sanitaryware and shower enclosures that make a compact SW7 space feel generous.
Where a family bathroom is small, clever design does the heavy lifting: a walk-in shower in place of a bath, a wall-hung basin, recessed niches and concealed cisterns all reclaim floor area. Bathroom electrics are notifiable under building regulations, so the wiring and any heating are certified as part of the works.
