Working in Ruardean
A Forest of Dean village with views towards Ross-on-Wye, Ruardean's stone and rendered cottages benefit from quality bathroom fitting.
Ruardean has former miners' cottages, stone-built houses, and some modern bungalows on the hilltop.
Hilltop Ruardean properties may have lower mains water pressure, requiring pump-assisted showers.
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.
