Things every fitter has to plan around

The specific quirks of a Cotswold cottage in King's Stanley.

  • Stone walls 500–800mm thick — fixings into the masonry need long expansion bolts

  • Listed status near-universal — consent on every visible change
  • Original drainage often runs in unexpected directions; survey before designing
