Local realities in Chester — and how we adapt
Local property mix: Listed Tudor-revival and Georgian stock inside the walls, with Victorian terraces through Hoole and modern estates in Saltney.
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
Underlay, expansion gaps, threshold transitions and beading handled correctly — the difference between a floor that lasts and a floor that creaks.
