What makes St Albans different
Local property mix: Listed period stock in the cathedral quarter; Edwardian terraces in Fleetville; new family estates on the city edge.
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.
