Why people in Manchester choose ExpertHome
Manchester and Salford host four major universities. The annual student handover in late August through mid-September is the busiest week of the local cleaning and removals calendar. Local property mix: A wave of high-rise apartments across Ancoats, Deansgate and NOMA, classic red-brick terraces in Fallowfield and Levenshulme, and detached family stock in Didsbury and Chorlton.
Knowing the new-build quirks
New-build estates have specific patterns — plasterboard partitions instead of brick, dot-and-dab kitchens, dust-laden trickle vents that haven't been cleaned since handover, and snag-list paintwork that's easy to mark. Our handymen carry spacer fixings for dot-and-dab walls (so plasterboard doesn't tear), and our cleaning teams pay special attention to fine builder's dust that lingers in extractor housings months after handover.
What's included
Stretch-in fitting — the long-lasting method — with gripper rods, fresh underlay, kicker stretching and clean door-bar trims.
