Why people in Chatham choose ExpertHome

Local property mix: Steep Victorian terraces around the historic Dockyard with modern infill across the Medway towns.

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

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
