Why people in Oxford choose ExpertHome
Two universities with a tightly squeezed rental market; the city has some of the highest house-price-to-earnings ratios in the UK. Local property mix: Listed central terraces, Victorian artisan housing through Jericho, and large family homes in Summertown and North Oxford.
Sensitive cleaning on period stock
Period properties need a slightly gentler touch — original sash windows, lime-plaster walls, lath-and-plaster ceilings and softwood floorboards don't behave like modern equivalents. We use lower-pressure techniques in old kitchens and bathrooms, and we know which finishes (e.g. shellac on a Georgian banister) shouldn't see modern solvents. On handyman jobs we use timber-fixings on lath-and-plaster ceilings rather than plasterboard plugs.
