GS Renovation refits bathrooms throughout Tottenham, working within the tight footprints and rear closet wings typical of the bay-fronted Victorian and Edwardian terraces along the N17 streets near Finsbury Park and Wood Green. With over 30 years in North London, we handle the waterproofing, drainage, tiling and finish so the room lasts.
Wet rooms and en-suites in Tottenham terraces
Bathrooms in Tottenham terraces are often squeezed into the original rear closet wing or a narrow return, so every centimetre counts. We plan space-saving layouts, wall-hung basins, compact showers and clever storage, and where a family needs a second bathroom we carve out an en-suite from a bedroom corner. Where the room is small we frequently convert it to a fully tanked wet room to make the whole floor usable.
Getting a wet room right in a period house means tanking properly before a single tile goes on. We apply a full waterproof membrane to the floor and walls, form the falls to the drain, and only then tile. The result keeps water where it belongs and protects the timber floors and the neighbouring closet wing structure that these older N17 homes rely on.
Waterproofing and ventilation for Tottenham homes
Solid brick walls and suspended timber floors mean damp and condensation are the real enemies in a Tottenham bathroom. We upgrade the drainage and soil connections, fit proper extraction to clear moisture rather than trapping it, and tank the wet areas so nothing seeps into the fabric of the terrace. Getting this right is what stops the peeling paint and black mould that plague poorly done period bathrooms.
On the comfort side we can lay electric or warm water underfloor heating under the tiles, a real bonus in these cooler rear rooms, and set out the tiling, lighting and heated towel rail to suit the space. The electrics are installed to building regulations with the required protection for a wet zone, and the whole room is delivered ready to use by one team.
- Niches, benches and recessed storage formed in the wet area
