Plumbing and refurbishment work in Sherborne

Sherborne is an abbey town with a lot of old stone. Ham stone cottages, Georgian townhouses, Victorian conversions. It's the kind of place where the properties are genuinely characterful and the work needs to match that. You can't just plumb a period Sherborne house the same way you'd plumb a 1990s new build: the walls are thick, the floor levels are often uneven, and you're frequently working around original features that need protecting.

Refurbishments in period properties

Whole-house refurbishments are a significant part of what we do in this area. Properties that haven't been touched in years, or that need replumbing from scratch as part of a larger renovation. We take these jobs seriously: we survey properly, plan the routing of pipework and drainage so it doesn't compromise the character of the building, and get the sequencing right so each trade isn't working against the next.

The building work element is something we can handle in-house too, which matters for period properties. For older Sherborne properties we take a careful approach and bring in trades who know stone and lime mortar where the walls call for it.

Bathroom renovation

Bathrooms in older Sherborne properties often come with their own challenges: cast-iron waste stacks that can't simply be cut into, floor structures that need careful assessment before tiling, or rooms that are slightly off square. These aren't problems if you've encountered them before. We have.

We do full bathroom fits including all the plumbing and tiling. If the existing layout isn't working, we'll give you an honest view of what can realistically be changed and what can't, and quote accordingly.
