The Sky's
the limit for LANCASHIRE Bathrooms.
In the middle of last year a lady and
gentleman arrived at in the shop asking about different types of bathroom
fittings and bathroom suites. Did we at LANCASHIRE Bathrooms have a design
service? - the answer was yes; do you have a drawing or sketch of the room to be
refurbished? - yes was the reply.
They in fact had a set of plans drawn up by
an architect with them, oh by the way, these bathrooms are to be fitted in a
house being built by ourselves and shown across Europe on Sky television's
Discovery Channel, the program to be a 16 part series called 'These Four Walls'.
The program is based upon people who have decided to build or oversee the
construction of their own homes from planning to completion, using the skills of
the local contractor or specialist.

The bathroom suites were chosen from the vast
range available from SOTTINI BATHROOM and the shower cubicle from the German
company HUPPE. Finally , the designs were agreed and the bathroom suite and
tiles picked. The main theme being the emphasis on shape and style, curves
complimenting curves, not falling into the trap of combining square shower
cubicles with corner baths etc.
After further discussion it was felt best
that instead of Lancashire Bathrooms just supplying the bathroom suites, that
the actual fitting of the bathrooms would be left to one of several skilled
fitting teams employed by LANCASHIRE bathrooms. The fitting and tiling of the
bathrooms was carried out by Bernard Swarbrick, David and Neville Stansfield,
Father and son, David being the owner of Lancashire Bathrooms. The work was
filmed at several stages during the fitting of the bathrooms and the program
series is now having its third showing.
