Why people in Bristol choose ExpertHome

Bristol is home to two universities (UoB and UWE) and a substantial professional rental market across BS6 and BS7. Tenancy turnover peaks late June through early September. Local property mix: Georgian terraces around Clifton, Victorian conversions through Redland and Bishopston, new-build flats in the Harbourside and Temple Quarter, plus a large HMO market near the universities.

Most agents use AIIC inventory standards; deposits are held via DPS, MyDeposits or TDS.

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.

What's included

Flat-pack manufacturers ship economically but the consequence is hundreds of small parts that have to be assembled in the right order with the right torque. ExpertHome's handymen build all major brands quickly and stably — and clear the packaging if you want.

  • All major flat-pack brands
  • Tools and fixings supplied
  • Packaging removal on request
