Bathroom Renovation Wood Green

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. We get the waterproofing, drainage and ventilation right first time, so the room stays sound long after the tiling is done.

In Wood Green, a full bathroom refit typically costs £6,000 to £20,000 or more (indicative London ranges, MyBuilder and Checkatrade, 2026). GS Renovation Ltd, a building contractor based in Potters Bar, does the work in Wood Green: we carry the tanking, plumbing and tiling as one contract, with the electrics certified by a registered electrician.

How the job runs

1. Free design visit at your Wood Green home and an itemised quote.
2. Strip-out, then first-fix plumbing and electrics.
3. Tanking to the wet areas, then tiling.
4. Sanitaryware and second fix, with notifiable electrics certified by a registered electrician. Typically 10 to 15 working days on site.

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 by a registered electrician under Part P, or notified to building control. The result is a bathroom that looks sharp and, just as importantly, stays dry and mould-free.

Housing in Wood Green

Roughly 9,700 dwellings sit on the valuation list for Wood Green. 38% are houses and 62% flats, and by age 67% predate 1919, 4% are interwar and 29% post-war. Where most homes are flats, a bathroom in a flat in Wood Green sits over a neighbour's ceiling, so it is tanked before tiling and a moved WC needs the freeholder's licence.

Bathrooms in Wood Green's post-war and newer flats

Wood Green's housing runs from Edwardian terraces to converted flats and post-war estates, and a bathroom behaves differently in each. 29% of homes here were built after 1945 and 15% in 2000 or later. In a flat from either period the soil stack, the extract duct and the fire stopping around them were designed as one shared system serving every floor, in a riser the freeholder may control. A new bathroom has to connect to that system where it already is, not where a floor plan would like it to be.

So the survey in a newer Wood Green flat starts at the riser panel, not the bath. Ask the managing agent whether the riser can be opened, who holds the fire stopping records, and whether the lease allows the waste to be reconnected. Where a pipe passes through a fire-separating floor, the collar or sealant around it is part of the protection for the flats above, and it is reinstated to the same specification after the new waste goes in. Book that detail into the programme rather than leaving it to be boxed over.

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.
