Bathrooms Stoke Bardolph
Stoke Bardolph is a hamlet of a couple of hundred people beside the Trent, and we cover it along with the villages either side — Burton Joyce, Gunthorpe, Shelford and the Gedling side of the river.
The housing is mostly period cottages with a small amount of later infill, and the bathrooms in it share the same characteristics.
Rooms that were something else
Nothing in this housing was built with a bathroom in the plan. They were carved out later — a box room, part of a bedroom, occasionally the end of a landing — which is why so few of them are a sensible shape.
Fitted furniture is the practical answer, because it can follow walls that are not straight rather than sitting against them with a filler strip covering the gap. Where the room is genuinely awkward — a boxed-in soil stack, a chimney breast, a sloping section of ceiling under the roof — building to the room is the only way to use the space rather than work round it.
Modern & Traditional
Bathrooms Stoke Bardolph, Nottingham
Stoke Bardolph is a hamlet of a couple of hundred people on the Trent — a handful of period cottages and some later properties.
In buildings this old and this small, nothing is a standard dimension. Bathrooms have been fitted into whatever room was available, ceilings are low, and head height over the shower is often the constraint that decides the whole layout.
Narrow lanes and old door openings limit what arrives in one piece. A one-piece shower tray or a large vanity unit may not make the turn on a cottage stair.
We check the route in at survey alongside the room itself, because a specification that cannot be delivered is not a specification.
Across to Stapleford, under Gedling Borough Council. One trip that shows you everything is worth several that show you samples.
Traditional Bathrooms Stoke Bardolph
Ventilation in solid-walled property
The single most important item on the specification, and the one most often skimped.
Older cottages have solid external walls and small windows. Without extraction ducted properly to the outside on a run-on timer, the moisture goes into the plaster and the paint lifts within a couple of winters, usually on the wall furthest from the window. An extractor ducted into a loft void does not solve it, and it is still the commonest fault we come across.

Ground-floor bathrooms near the river
Worth raising because it changes the specification. Properties close to the Trent can sit in a flood risk area, and for anything at ground level that means moisture-resistant carcass board rather than standard chipboard, and some thought about how easily the room could be dried out and made good.
Upstairs, none of it applies. It is a ground-floor consideration only, and it costs very little extra at the point of ordering.
