Things every fitter has to plan around

The specific quirks of a Cotswold cottage in Woodmancote.

  • Stone walls 500–800mm thick — fixings into the masonry need long expansion bolts
  • Floors rarely level — every tile cut and every shower tray needs bespoke shimming
  • Low ceilings (2.0–2.2m common) — standard shower screens may not fit; bespoke is normal
  • Listed status near-universal — consent on every visible change
  • Original drainage often runs in unexpected directions; survey before designing
