Frequently asked

When should accessories be positioned?

Ideally decided before tiling, so noggins and fixings can be planned.

Do small details matter?

They are usually the difference between a room that feels professionally finished and one that does not.

Not ready to book, just weighing it up?

That is fine, questions at the thinking stage are the cheapest ones to ask, and they usually save a change of mind later.
