Bathroom fitters for bungalow homes in Pittville
Bungalow bathrooms are well-suited to wet-rooms and accessible refits — single-floor living means no joist concerns from above and all drainage is at ground level. The challenge is usually older fittings, smaller rooms, and an owner profile thinking about long-term accessibility.

- 3Replace the loft cold tank with a combi or unvented system — frees up loft space and improves pressure
