Why people in York choose ExpertHome
York St John and the University of York drive seasonal rental turnover; the city is also one of the UK's busiest tourist destinations. Local property mix: Listed Georgian and Edwardian stock inside the city walls, with newer family housing in Fulford and Heworth. Many central properties are conservation-area.
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.
