What makes Ipswich different
Local property mix: Victorian terraces through the inner wards, Edwardian villas around Christchurch Park.
Working rural-fringe addresses
On rural-edge addresses our quote allows for longer driveway access, gates that have to be opened and closed, and the realities of poured concrete vs. resin-bonded drives when crews pull up. If your property is on a no-through lane or has a weight-limited bridge nearby we ask in advance and route the right vehicle.
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.
