Bathroom renovations for Prestwich period homes
Prestwich has some of the most interesting bathrooms we work in: tall Victorian and Edwardian rooms, later extensions with awkward junctions, and loft conversions where the ceiling decides the layout more than the floor does.

Working with the age of the house
High ceilings, deep skirtings and original doors are worth keeping. That influences tile height, cornice detail and where a screen can sensibly land, so we set the room out with the existing features rather than ignoring them.
In houses of this age something unexpected is normal. We flag likely risks at survey and agree how they will be handled, so the conversation happens before the wall is open rather than after.
Older houses, honest allowances

Prestwich rooms we see
Large period bathrooms that were subdivided at some point, en suites squeezed into loft space, and family bathrooms in extended semis where the plumbing has been added to piecemeal over decades.
Work we do here most often
- Period proportions respected in tile setting out
- Loft en suites planned around head height and joists
- Piecemeal old plumbing rationalised in one go
- Cast iron and older waste runs replaced properly

Prestwich questions
Asked by Prestwich customers
Can you fit an en suite in a Prestwich loft?
Often, if head height and drainage allow. Both are checked before we suggest a layout.
Will you keep the original features?
Where you want them kept, yes. We work the new fittings around them instead of stripping the character out.
Is old pipework a problem?
It is common here. Replacing tired sections while the room is open costs far less than returning to it later.
Do you plaster as well as tile?
Yes, both trades are in house, which is why period rooms suit us.
