Watertight bathrooms in period buildings

Bathrooms in South Hampstead’s villas and conversion flats are mostly about the things you do not see: drainage routed through old floors, soil stacks shared with the flats above and below, and waterproofing detailed so nothing ever leaks into the room beneath. Get those right and the finish — stone, brassware, glass — takes care of itself.

In conversion and mansion flats there is the added question of the lease: alterations to bathrooms and services usually need freeholder consent, and the work has to respect the building’s shared drainage and the neighbour below. In houses it is more about fitting bathrooms and en-suites into period rooms without harming the structure or the character.

We resolve the drainage and waterproofing first, secure any consents, and fit the bathroom out to a high standard — tiling, heating, ventilation — in one contract, with honest budgets in pounds sterling.

What shapes a South Hampstead bathroom renovation

A South Hampstead bathroom is won on drainage and waterproofing, not just fittings.

01

Drainage routing

Waste has to reach the soil stack within a period floor, without butchering joists.

02

Waterproofing

Proper tanking over timber floors so the room below stays dry, permanently.

03

Lease and neighbours

In a flat, alterations and the neighbour below mean freeholder consent is usually needed.

04

Ventilation

Extraction is designed in, because many bathrooms here are internal rooms.

Questions clients ask before they start

Will my new bathroom leak into the flat below?

Not when it is properly tanked and detailed. Waterproofing over a timber floor is the most important part of the job, and we do it correctly.

Do I need freeholder consent in a flat?

For bathroom and service alterations, usually yes under the lease — particularly where there is a neighbour below. We identify and secure the consent first.

Can you fit an en-suite into a period bedroom?

Often, yes — we find the space and resolve the drainage and waterproofing within the period floor. We confirm what is achievable on a survey.

How is drainage handled in an old house?

We route waste to the soil stack within the floor where possible, without badly cutting joists, or use a concealed pump where gravity cannot reach.

What does a bathroom renovation cost?

It depends on drainage, waterproofing and finishes. We give an honest budget band in pounds sterling (GBP) after a survey.
