GS Renovation refits bathrooms across Stoke Newington, making the most of the often tight spaces in the Victorian and Edwardian terraces near Clissold Park. With over 30 years of experience in N16 and across Hackney, we handle the waterproofing, drainage, tiling and heating so your new bathroom is watertight, warm and built to last.
Wet rooms and walk-in showers in Stoke Newington
Many Stoke Newington bathrooms sit in a converted closet wing or a boxy back addition, so proper waterproofing is essential before anything decorative goes in. We tank the walls and floor, form the falls for a wet room or walk-in shower, and lay fully bonded tanking so water goes where it should and nowhere else. Drainage and extraction are set up correctly to avoid the damp problems these older N16 houses are prone to.
Underfloor heating warms cold ground-floor and solid-floor rooms without eating into wall space, which matters in a period home. We tile floors and walls to a high standard, fit the sanitaryware and screens, and balance ventilation so moisture clears quickly. Bathroom electrics are notifiable under building regulations, so the wiring for lighting, heating and extraction is installed and certified as part of the work.
Space-saving en-suites in N16 terraces
Adding an en-suite to a Stoke Newington terrace usually means borrowing from a bedroom or squeezing a shower room into an awkward corner of the closet wing. We plan these tight layouts carefully, using compact sanitaryware, wall-hung units and sliding or pivot doors so the room works without feeling cramped. Concealed cisterns and recessed storage make the most of every centimetre.
New drainage in a period house has to run somewhere, so we plan pipe routes and falls before we start, connecting into the existing soil stack where possible. Waterproofing, tiling, heating and ventilation are all specified for the small space, and the electrics are certified under building regulations. The finished en-suite adds real value to an N16 home while sitting neatly within the constraints of a Victorian floor plan.
