Local realities in Gloucester — and how we adapt
Local property mix: Listed period stock around the cathedral and docks, with newer family estates ringing the city.
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
IKEA's PAX, MALM, BESTÅ, KALLAX and METOD ranges have specific assembly quirks our handymen know inside out — including the right combinations for sliding doors, drawer dampers and lighting kits.
