Working in Southport: what we plan for
Local property mix: Edwardian seaside villas line the boulevards; Victorian terraces fill the inner wards.
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.
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.
