Rated Excellent on Rated PeopleKitchens and bathrooms in Southwick
Southwick grew up around the cloth trade, with weavers working at home for the Trowbridge clothiers, and its older houses still look like it: small cottages, a handful of substantial farmhouses and later housing built around them. Cottage rooms are small and low, bathrooms were often fitted into a bedroom or a back extension, and floors change level from one room to the next. Anyone planning a kitchen refit or a tiler’s job in a house like that needs a fitter who measures first and orders afterwards.
Fixed & Fitted is based in Frome, and Southwick lies on the main road towards Trowbridge, so it is not far from our base. You deal with one skilled tradesperson for plumbing, electrics, tiling and carpentry, which suits a house where the work crosses several trades. Send us photos of the room on WhatsApp and tell us what is not working for you. We will reply with a free quote, and there is no obligation.

Kitchen Fitter in Southwick
Former weavers’ cottages in Southwick have small, low kitchens, often with a step down from the hall. We measure the room twice, choose slimmer units where a doorway or stair is tight, and plan the oven, sink and fridge so the room still works.

Bathroom Fitter in Southwick
Many Southwick cottage bathrooms were added later over a back extension, so the soil pipe can be a long way off. We follow the pipe run before moving a toilet, and choose a suite that fits the room rather than one that only looks right in a showroom.

Wet Rooms & Showers in Southwick
Swapping a bath for a walk-in shower is a common job in Southwick’s mid-century houses. It needs a floor that falls to the drain, solid waterproofing and a waste that clears. We look at the floor structure first, because that decides what is possible.

Tiler in Southwick
Tiling a Southwick cottage means dealing with walls that lean and floors that step between rooms. We straighten the surface with boards or a levelling coat, set out the tiles so awkward cuts land where nobody looks, and waterproof properly round the bath or shower.
Tiling details - 5
Plumber in Southwick
Plumbing in Southwick’s older homes often has long runs to the stack and pipework from different decades. We trace what is there, replace worn sections while the floor is up, and check waste falls before fitting a new basin, toilet or sink.

Electrician in Southwick
Electrics in a Southwick farmhouse or cottage can be a patchwork added over decades. We trace circuits, plan cable routes through stone and timber floors, fit RCD protection to bathroom and kitchen circuits, and confirm what Part P and BS 7671 mean for your job.
Electrical Work details - 7
Carpenter & Joiner in Southwick
Southwick’s weavers’ cottages have low ceilings and crooked frames, so off-the-shelf doors and shelves rarely fit. We cut and scribe to the opening, build alcove shelving and box in pipes. Timber in a listed farmhouse is checked with the council before we touch it.

Floor Fitter in Southwick
Floors in Southwick cottages change level between rooms, and old boards may sit over ground that is prone to damp. We check moisture and levels first, then lay a floor that suits the base, with a slim threshold or ramp where one room steps into the next.

Home Renovation in Southwick
A Southwick cottage that has been extended twice needs us to find out what lies behind each wall before we plan. Strip-out, pipes, wiring, plaster and finishes then go in order, with one tradesperson running the lot and listed status checked first.

Local knowledge
Kitchens & bathrooms in Southwick: what to know
Cottages with later additions
Cottages built for cloth workers tend to have small rooms, low ceilings and a bathroom that was added later, often over a back extension. Floors can sit at different levels, and pipe runs to the stack may be long. We check levels, falls and what the floor is made of before suggesting where a new shower or kitchen should go.
Listed farmhouses
Southwick has several listed buildings, including farmhouses with older stone or timber features. Listed status can limit what you may alter, even inside. If your house might be listed, check with the council before planning changes, and tell us when you message. We will plan the work around any limits.
Swapping a bath for a walk-in shower
Houses from the mid-20th century onwards often have a bath in a small original bathroom. Replacing it with a walk-in shower is a common job, and it needs a floor that falls to the drain, proper waterproofing and a plan for the waste. We look at the floor structure first, because that decides what is possible.

Questions
Southwick FAQs
Can a Southwick cottage bathroom be moved or made bigger?
Often yes, but it depends on the soil pipe, the floor structure and where waste can run with enough fall. Cottage floors and walls vary a lot, so we look at photos or the room itself before saying what is sensible. Send them on WhatsApp for a free, no-obligation quote.
Does a listed farmhouse in Southwick need consent for a new kitchen?
It might, so check with the council first. Replacing units in the same position is different from moving walls, altering fireplaces or changing original features, and a listed building can need consent for some internal work. Let us know the building’s status when you message, and we will work within it.
