Rated Excellent on Rated PeopleKitchens and bathrooms in Cloford
Cloford is a small, scattered village where the homes are mostly farmhouses, stone cottages and converted farm buildings rather than rows of similar houses. Walls are thick, rooms are rarely square and the services have usually been altered over many decades by whoever lived there. If you want a kitchen fitter or a bathroom refit in a house like that, the first job is working out what is behind the plaster and where the pipes and cables actually run. A plan drawn from a catalogue seldom survives a wall half a metre thick.
We are based in Frome, so Cloford is a short drive from our base. One skilled tradesperson handles the plumbing, electrics, tiling and carpentry, which suits a country job where juggling three separate firms is more trouble than it is worth. Send a few WhatsApp photos of the room, the lane and the way in to the house, and say what you would like to change. The quote is free and there is no obligation at all.

Kitchen Fitter in Cloford
A Cloford farmhouse wall half a metre thick will not match a catalogue plan. We measure the room as it is, level and scribe base units to uneven stone, and decide where the sink, hob and oven sit once we know where the services come in.

Bathroom Fitter in Cloford
Before adding a second shower or a bigger bath in Cloford, find out what drainage you have, because some homes use a septic tank or treatment plant. We then plan the bathroom around what the waste can take, with extraction that clears the steam.

Wet Rooms & Showers in Cloford
Converted barns in Cloford often have high ceilings and solid floors, which suit a roomy walk-in shower. The drain position and a gentle fall need planning early, and the walls need waterproofing, because cutting into thick walls later is hard going.

Tiler in Cloford
Cloford walls can be stone, render or patched plaster, sometimes all in one room. We test what each surface is, prime or board it where needed, and waterproof around showers and baths before the first tile goes up.
Tiling details - 5
Plumber in Cloford
Water around Cloford is generally hard, and long pipe runs make scale show on taps and shower heads. We fit isolation valves you can reach and choose fittings that descale easily, so one tap can be serviced without draining the house.
Plumbing details - 6
Electrician in Cloford
Cloford farmhouses and cottages have usually had their wiring altered by whoever lived there, decade after decade. We trace what is in the walls, plan kitchen and bathroom circuits, and run cable in boxing, ducts or under floors rather than cutting into thick stone.

Carpenter & Joiner in Cloford
Rooms that are out of square are normal in Cloford cottages, so we build shelving, window boards, boxing and stud walls to fit what is actually there. Where a converted barn needs a partition, we frame it to leave room for pipes and sockets.

Floor Fitter in Cloford
Floors in Cloford farmhouses and converted barns can be stone, screed, old boards or concrete poured at different times. We check levels, damp and door thresholds, then pick flooring that suits the base instead of fighting it.

Home Renovation in Cloford
A full renovation in Cloford begins by finding out what earlier owners changed. We open up, trace the pipes and cables, then sequence plumbing, wiring, plastering, tiling and joinery, so you are never waiting on one trade while another has gone.

Local knowledge
Kitchens & bathrooms in Cloford: what to know
Check your drainage first
Some homes in and around Cloford may not be on mains drainage and use a septic tank or treatment plant instead. Before adding a bathroom, a second shower or a larger bath, find out what system you have, how old it is and who services it. That tells us what load the waste can sensibly take.
Converted barns and farm buildings
Converted barns often have high ceilings, solid floors and walls too thick to chase casually. New pipework and cables may need to run in boxing, in a duct or through the floor, so the layout is worth settling before anything is ordered. We look at where services already come in before suggesting where a kitchen or bathroom should sit.
Hard water
Water across this part of Somerset is generally hard, and in a house with long pipe runs the scale shows up on taps, shower heads and kettles. We choose fittings that are easy to descale and fit isolation valves where you can reach them, so a tap or shower valve can be serviced without draining the house.

Questions
Cloford FAQs
Can you fit a kitchen in a Cloford farmhouse with thick stone walls and uneven floors?
Yes, thick walls and uneven floors are routine in farmhouses like these. Base units are levelled and scribed to the wall rather than forced square, and cables and pipes are routed so they do not weaken the stone or trap damp behind it. Send a few photos and rough measurements on WhatsApp and we will come back with a free quote.
My Cloford home has a septic tank. Does that affect adding a bathroom?
It can, so check before you commit. A septic tank or treatment plant is sized for a certain load, and an extra bathroom or a bigger bath adds to it. Ask whoever services yours what it can take, then tell us what you learn when you message, and we will plan the plumbing around it.
Do you cover Cloford Common, Holwell and the lanes around Cloford?
Yes, we cover Cloford, Cloford Common, Holwell and Leighton, plus Wanstrow, Nunney and the other villages nearby. When you message us on WhatsApp, include the house name and postcode with a few photos of the room, and we will reply with a free, no-obligation quote.
