Frequently Asked Questions
Can you create a period-style bathroom?▼
Absolutely! We can source traditional sanitaryware, high-level cisterns, roll-top baths, and period-style taps that look authentic while functioning perfectly.
Is underfloor heating worth it?▼
In an Edwardian bathroom, we strongly recommend it. The high ceilings make floor-level heating especially comfortable, and it frees up wall space from radiators.
Can you add an en-suite?▼
Many Edwardian houses have bedrooms large enough for en-suites. We can assess the options, including plumbing routes and extraction requirements.
