Bathroom fitters for edwardian semi homes in Bosbury
Edwardian semis are the friendlier cousin of the Victorian terrace — wider plots, slightly more generous proportions, and bathrooms that often sit on the first floor over the hallway or a downstairs WC. Brick is generally better-quality and walls a touch more forgiving for tiling.

- Original cast-iron baths still occasionally in situ — heavy to remove safely
- Tile-on-tile substrates from previous refits common; a full strip-out is the safer call
- Picture rails and high skirtings need careful cutting around for a clean modern finish
