What makes Bournemouth different

Bournemouth University and a major short-let / tourism market. Local property mix: Edwardian villas and converted flats are everywhere; large student HMO market in BH8.

Coastal properties, salt-air realities

Salt air corrodes faster than inland equivalents — uPVC windows yellow on the sunward elevation, external metalwork pits, and patio surfaces grow algae more quickly because of constant humidity. Cleaning routines on the coast benefit from more frequent jet washes, attention to window-track drainage, and treating any external timber seasonally. We adjust schedules and chemistry to the coastal environment when we know the property is near the sea.

What's included

From a single picture shelf to a wall of storage, we fit shelves with fixings rated to the load — and we measure twice so they're level across the room.

  • Floating and bracketed shelves
  • Heavy-duty fixings
  • Level alignment guaranteed
  • Tidy-up included
