What makes York different
York St John and the University of York drive seasonal rental turnover; the city is also one of the UK's busiest tourist destinations. Local property mix: Listed Georgian and Edwardian stock inside the city walls, with newer family housing in Fulford and Heworth. Many central properties are conservation-area.
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.
