GS Renovation refits bathrooms across Wood Green, from squeezing an en-suite into an Edwardian bedroom to building a full wet room in a terrace off the high road. With over 30 years in N22, we get the waterproofing, drainage and ventilation right first time, so the room stays sound long after the tiling is done.
Waterproofing and wet rooms in Wood Green
In Wood Green's period terraces the bathroom often sits in the rear closet wing or a converted bedroom, with suspended timber floors that need proper attention before any tiling begins. We tank and waterproof the walls and floor, form the falls for a walk-in shower or wet room and make sure the drainage runs correctly to the existing stack rather than relying on hopeful gradients.
Ventilation is the detail that gets overlooked and then causes damp in these older houses. We fit extraction that actually clears moisture, insulate where the wing meets cold external walls and lay underfloor heating where it suits the layout. Notifiable electrical work is certified under building regulations. The result is a bathroom that looks sharp and, just as importantly, stays dry and mould-free.
Space-saving layouts in N22 period homes
Bathrooms in Wood Green terraces are rarely generous, so the layout has to work hard. We plan around the awkward geometry of the closet wing, using wall-hung units, recessed shelving in the alcoves and walk-in showers to free up floor space without making the room feel tight. Careful positioning of the soil pipe and drainage lets us move fittings where they make the most sense.
Adding an en-suite to an Edwardian bedroom is a popular way to gain a second bathroom in these N22 houses. We steal space intelligently, tank it fully and match the tiling and fittings to the character of the home. Whether it is a compact shower room or a full family bathroom, every job is finished to a standard that suits the age of the property.
