Working in St Albans: what we plan for
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.
Timed around the commuter rhythm
Commuter towns work to a very specific weekly rhythm — Tuesday-to-Thursday is desk time in town, Monday and Friday are split, weekends are precious. Most of our local bookings are weekend or evening slots so home-life doesn't bend around the service. We can also coordinate with concierge buildings and managed estates where access has to be pre-cleared — particularly near the station, where build-to-rent towers usually require an advance lift booking.
What's included
A pre-sale clean focuses on the visual cues estate agents and buyers respond to — streak-free glass, polished floors, a fresh kitchen and bathroom and an even shine across every surface. It pairs perfectly with the photography brief on the day of listing.
- Streak-free windows and mirrors
- Detailed kitchen and bathroom clean
- Floor care and surface polishing
- Light tidying and de-cluttering on request
