Home Interiors have just completed a bathroom situated in the attic, this is an old barn conversion where the roof height could not be lifted due to council restrictions, and it might affect the other two homes within the 3 mile radius the houses sit.
Makes me laugh
Anyway it just shows what can be achieved in the most awkward pitch of a roof with some careful planning.
Even though this main bathroom would technically be an en~suite as the room is only accessible via the master bedroom.
The attic room was a good size thus allowing for a large bath to be installed along with a shower tray directly in front of two gable end low level windows.
The bathroom also has a large basin sitting in a modern base unit and a long range of low level cupboards.
the centre unit holding the WC and cistern.
The Tiling to the floor was already complete before we at Home Interiors were involved in this project; I only make this point due to some lippage in parts of the floor tiling.
Home Interiors were only contracted to install the bumpy white wall tiles and much chrome tile trim.
Of course we always prefer the complete installation as often when you arrive to fix tiles only, you end up removing many items that the customer has already paid to have fitted, for instance in this bathroom the chrome towel rail had to be taken down pipe work adjusted and re fitted once tiles were fixed, grouted and polished.
Therefore the customer is paying twice for the same job; the same went for the electrical work, wall lights and extractor fan.
The shower head, mixer and control panel had to be removed to fix the tiles, again paying out twice for the same job.
However the installation was one of our interesting jobs with much thought required to the window/shower wall where an interesting amount of setting out and precession was required with the boxing in and two different height windows to contend with.
Its not often that 9 lengths of tile trim be required on just one wall of ceramic tiling.
Cutting tiles to the internal ceiling pitch looks straight forward enough and would be if only the building was not so old and the roof timbers so distorted that the plaster ceiling leading to the pitch was so wavy that every cut had to be scribed to follow the contour of the slop.
An interesting job no matter what
One more very happy client, what more could Home Interiors want.
