A full freestanding bath is heavy. Copper and cast iron especially. In the Victorian and Edwardian houses around Malone and Stranmillis we lift a board and check the joists before agreeing a position, then strengthen them if needed.
Floor-standing mixers need their pipes run under the floor and brought up in exactly the right place. We set the bath out on the floor first so the tap lines up perfectly.

Can my floor take a freestanding bath?
Most can. We check the joists before agreeing a position.
Do I need a floor-standing tap?
Not always. Wall-mounted or deck taps work too, depending on where the bath sits.
Will my boiler fill a big bath?
We check the hot water supply first and tell you honestly.
