Traditional Cottage Bathroom, Peak District

A real period property situated in the historic area of Hayfield. With huge stone walls, wonky floors and door ways make these jobs interesting...

When its comes to renovating a period property its always a dilemma to stay in keeping with the property or modernise, luckily for this fantastic property the owners decided to stay with the period look.

There was a wall to take down and move back to make room for the traditional furniture. Traditional items take up more room and are generally more expensive as an option to the more modern look. Take note !

Take a look at the room when we arrived:

We produced a design to meet the needs of the client but stay with the period style of the property. The spec was simple, keep it traditional!

Before design Spec:

• All traditional furniture fixtures and fittings
• Shower over bath
• Tiled floor
• Storage
• Renew all floors and walls with new plaster finish throughout
• Decorate

This is what our designer came up with:

After the design session we settled on a green metro tile with brown timber effect floor tiles to keep with the period of the property, this complimented the furniture and traditional fittings perfectly.

The final specification:

On completion of the work we asked for feedback and received a glowing review of our efforts from our client, you can view this review on our google page:

"From day 1 the service was impeccable. We really enjoyed the proposals being put in to a 3D virtual reality experience, and the end result is identical. The fitter Chris seems to be a master of many trades, with each element being completed to high standards with no short cuts taken. I was away for most of the project and Chris sent me photos each day of the progress made, and kept me in the loop with any queries or advice.

He also went above and beyond to come over at weekends and evenings to discuss the final touches. I have a number of trades in my house at the moment who are doing other jobs and every single one of them has said it is the best tiling they have ever seen.

As well as the workmanship the company seems to be very professionally run by Aaron, with excellent communication and response times, and full paperwork and guarantees. As you can see I couldn't be happier, and I could not recommend them any more highly."
