Bathroom fitters for edwardian semi homes in Hartpury
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.
