Planning & permissions
The planning context in Bathwick
Common extension patterns in Bathwick
Bathwick flooring + skirting patterns: engineered wood flooring (14-20mm, oak or walnut) fitted over underlay on the suspended timber subfloor, solid wood flooring (18-22mm, oak) for the larger Georgian villas, original deep skirting (180mm+) replaced in softwood or MDF painted, original deep architraves (120-150mm) replaced in matching profiles. Most Bathwick jobs use engineered wood (mid-range price) or solid wood (premium feel). Skirting profiles lean toward deep Georgian (180mm+).
