Wet Rooms in Highgate
We build wet rooms in Highgate for period homes, older houses and established residential properties where drainage, floor build-up and waterproofing need to be planned properly from the start. From structure-first preparation to fully sealed wet area installation, each wet room is built around the room, the property and the way it will be used, so it feels open, practical and properly formed for daily use.
Our Wet Room ApproachOur Approach
A wet room in Highgate often needs more thought before the visible work even starts. Many properties here are period homes, older houses and established residential buildings where the existing floor structure, drainage route and room layout need to be assessed carefully before a wet room can be built properly. The room needs to work as a complete system, not just look clean once it is tiled.
At Lucian Bathrooms, we build wet room renovations in Highgate with that in mind from the start. With 10+ years of hands-on experience, we assess the floor structure, the drainage position, the waterproofing requirements and the practical layout before work begins. We then carry out the plumbing, electrics, tanking, tiling and finishing in-house, creating wet rooms that feel open and modern, while still being properly built for long-term daily use.
Wet Room Planning for Highgate Homes
From £8,000 (Labour Only), depending on layout and scope
A well-built wet room in Highgate needs to do more than look open and modern once finished. In many period homes and older houses, the real work is making sure the floor structure, drainage position, waterproofing and room layout all work together properly before tiling begins. The wet area has to be formed correctly from the start so the room performs properly in daily use and does not create problems later.
That is the approach we take when building wet rooms in Highgate. We look at whether the room is suitable for a wet room, how the drainage route can work, how the shower area should be formed and how the waterproofing needs to be carried through the space. Where the build suits it, we use wet room systems that work well with older bathroom layouts and timber-based structures, so the finished room is not just visually clean, but properly prepared underneath.
With 10+ years of hands-on experience, we plan wet room renovations around the property, the existing structure and the way the room will actually be used. We carry out the plumbing, electrics, waterproofing, wall and floor tiling and finishing in-house, creating wet rooms that feel practical, well resolved and built properly for everyday use.

Lucian did an amazing and complete refurb job on both my bathrooms in Highgate. He was professional, with great attention to detail, and completely knowledgeable about every aspect of the plumbing and tiling work. The bathrooms are several years old now and we have not had any problems with any of the work to date.
In Highgate, many wet room projects sit within period homes, older houses and established N6 properties where the floor structure, drainage route and waterproofing all need to be planned carefully from the start. Our wet room renovation work focuses on creating a properly formed shower area that suits the room, the property and the way it will be used day to day, while making sure the build-up underneath is prepared properly before the finish goes on.
Whether renovating a wet room in an older house or an established property in Highgate, each room is planned around how the structure and layout will actually allow the space to work. That matters in N6, where older properties often need a more careful approach to floor preparation, drainage positioning and waterproof detailing before the room can be finished properly. The aim is to deliver a wet room that feels open, durable and built as a complete system from the start.

Wet Room FAQs — Highgate
Frequently asked questions about wet room renovations in Highgate (N6).
Yes, in many cases it can. Wet rooms can work very well in Highgate period homes and older houses, but the room needs to be assessed properly first. The floor structure, drainage route, waterproofing requirements and room layout all need to suit the build before the wet room is formed.
Yes, but upstairs wet rooms need careful planning. In Highgate properties, the joists, floor build-up, drainage route and waterproof detailing all need to be checked properly before the design is agreed and the room is built.
Yes. A wet room depends on correct floor falls, reliable drainage positioning and proper waterproofing behind the finish. In older Highgate properties, that preparation is especially important because the existing structure often needs more care before tiling starts.
Our wet room renovations start from £8,000 labour only, depending on the layout and scope. The final cost will depend on the room size, floor build-up, drainage setup, waterproofing requirements, tiling and the overall level of work needed to build the wet room properly.
