GS Renovation installs bathrooms and en-suites across Southwark, in the Victorian terraces of Camberwell, the Georgian townhouses of Dulwich and the converted flats of Bermondsey. With more than 30 years of experience in SE1, SE15, SE17 and SE22, we handle waterproofing, drainage, tiling, heating and the fit-out, making the most of tight spaces in period homes.
Wet rooms and en-suites in Southwark
A bathroom in a Southwark period home lives or dies by its waterproofing. Before any tile goes on, we fully tank the walls and floor, so a wet room or walk-in shower stays watertight over solid Victorian floors or the timber joists common in SE5 and SE15. We set the falls correctly to the drainage, upgrade the ventilation to control condensation in older, poorly aired rooms, and lay underfloor heating where the build-up allows for warm, dry comfort.
Space is the constant challenge in Southwark's period houses. Many bathrooms sit in a narrow rear closet wing or a boxed-in landing, so we plan layouts that earn every centimetre, using wall-hung basins and toilets, walk-in showers and slim concealed cisterns. When adding an en-suite to a Dulwich or Camberwell bedroom, we route new drainage carefully to fall correctly, boxing pipework neatly and keeping disruption to the surrounding rooms to a minimum during the build.
Bathrooms in Bermondsey and Borough flats
Bathrooms in the leasehold flats and warehouse conversions of Bermondsey, Borough and SE16 bring their own considerations. Waterproofing matters even more here, because a leak affects the flat below and the wider block, so full tanking is essential. We work within the building's rules on wet-area alterations, coordinate with the managing agent, and respect the sound insulation between flats, choosing quiet extraction and careful pipe routing so a new bathroom does not become a nuisance to neighbours.
Whatever the property, the finish is what you see every day. We tile to a high standard, from large-format porcelain to traditional metro and mosaic, and fit brassware, heated towel rails and lighting to suit the room. None of this needs planning permission, though the electrical work is notifiable under building regulations, which we handle. From a compact SE17 en-suite to a full family bathroom near Peckham Rye, we deliver a watertight room that lasts.
