Bathroom fitters working with Prestbury's timber-framed and stone cottages
Prestbury has a number of timber-framed and stone-built cottages alongside more recent infill housing. The older buildings rarely have square rooms or consistent wall thicknesses, so fitting a bathroom suite here is as much about accurate on-site measurement as the products chosen.
Frequently asked
Can standard-size furniture be fitted in an old cottage bathroom?
It can, but expect scribing and packing to deal with out-of-true walls and floors rather than a flush fit as supplied.
Do old cottages need floor strengthening before tiling?
Sometimes, an uneven or bouncy floor should be checked and, if needed, stiffened before large tiles are laid, to avoid grout cracking.
What this means on site
- Stone and timber-framed walls are rarely plumb
- so pre-formed vanity units and fitted furniture usually need scribing on site rather than fitting straight from the box.
- Original floor structures in these cottages can have significant deflection
- which needs checking before a heavy freestanding bath or tiled floor goes in.
- Where a cottage sits on a private drainage or older combined system
- waste connections need confirming before extending the bathroom's fittings.
