Frequently asked
Does access affect bath choice on a steep Rodborough plot?
It can, a large one-piece bath may not get up narrow stairs or lanes, making a lighter or sectional bath a more practical choice.
Will pressure be an issue for filling a bath up here?
Elevated properties can see reduced mains pressure, so it's worth checking flow rate and considering a boosted supply if fill times are slow.
