What makes Peterborough different
Local property mix: Large new-build estates surround a small Georgian core; Hampton is one of the UK's biggest planned communities.
Knowing the new-build quirks
New-build estates have specific patterns — plasterboard partitions instead of brick, dot-and-dab kitchens, dust-laden trickle vents that haven't been cleaned since handover, and snag-list paintwork that's easy to mark. Our handymen carry spacer fixings for dot-and-dab walls (so plasterboard doesn't tear), and our cleaning teams pay special attention to fine builder's dust that lingers in extractor housings months after handover.
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.
