GS Renovation renovates bathrooms across Willesden, fitting wet rooms, walk-in showers and en-suites into the Victorian and Edwardian terraces of NW10. With more than 30 years in Brent, we get the waterproofing, drainage and ventilation right, then finish with tiling, underfloor heating and layouts that make the most of tight period spaces.
Waterproofing and wet rooms in Willesden homes
A bathroom in a Willesden terrace usually sits above a timber floor or over the rear closet wing, so proper waterproofing is not optional. Before any tile goes down we tank the walls and floor of showers and wet rooms with a fully bonded membrane, form the falls to the drain, and make sure the room is sealed against the damp that older NW10 houses are prone to.
Extraction matters just as much as tanking, because these period rooms trap moisture and quickly grow mould without it. We fit proper mechanical ventilation and sort the drainage runs, which in an older terrace often means rerouting waste pipes to reach the stack. Get the water management right first and the tiling, glazing and fittings on top will last rather than fail within a couple of years.
Space-saving bathroom layouts for NW10 terraces
Bathrooms in Willesden terraces are often squeezed into the rear closet wing or a former box room, leaving very little floor to work with. We plan the layout around the space you actually have, choosing a walk-in shower over a bulky enclosure, a wall-hung basin and toilet to free up the floor, and storage that tucks into the awkward corners these Victorian and Edwardian rooms leave behind.
En-suites are a popular way to add a second bathroom in an NW10 house, carved from the corner of a main bedroom or the return over the stairs. We run the new drainage and ventilation, tank the space properly, lay warm underfloor heating under the tiles, and certify the electrics under building regulations, so a small period room becomes a bathroom that feels considered rather than crammed.
