Working in Birdlip
Perched on the Cotswold escarpment above Gloucester, Birdlip's elevated position brings unique plumbing considerations for its mix of period and modern homes.
Birdlip sits at over 900 feet elevation with a mix of Cotswold stone cottages and mid-20th century bungalows.
The exposed hilltop location means pipes in Birdlip properties are more susceptible to freezing in winter months.
the Severn Vale gets damp winters with heavy rainfall. Bathrooms need good ventilation and proper waterproofing — condensation on cold stone walls is a particular issue in older properties.
properties in the Severn floodplain areas around Tewkesbury and Gloucester should consider ground-floor bathroom resilience — easily removable lower panels and raised electrical sockets are practical precautions.
