We cover central Oxford and the inner suburbs, OX1, OX2, OX3 and OX4 across Jericho, North Oxford, Headington, Marston, Cowley, East Oxford, Iffley and the surrounding streets. The bulk of our owner-occupied work is on Victorian terraces and the larger Edwardian villas of North Oxford; the bulk of our landlord work is HMO turnarounds across Cowley, East Oxford and Headington. Oxford's period housing has the typical issues, surviving cornice and ceiling roses buried under decades of paint, lath-and-plaster walls, sash windows that need careful exterior work, and conservation-area constraints in much of the centre. We use the right products and the right techniques rather than running modern shortcuts that will fail. On the HMO and landlord side, the priorities are different but the standard is the same: fast turnaround between tenancies, durable scrubbable specifications, proper between-tenant snagging, and detailed written records of products used so future touch-ups match.

Learn more Why choose us in Oxford ## Concrete reasons,not vague claims. ### Genuine period property practice Surviving cornice, original sash windows, lath-and-plaster walls, and the conservation-area constraints common across central Oxford are all routine work for us. ### HMO and landlord turnaround experience Fast turnaround between tenancies, scrubbable durable specifications and trade pricing for repeat landlord work. ### Realistic about Oxford's parking and access Central Oxford parking is difficult, we plan permits, deliveries and skip licences in advance so the job doesn't stall. ### One dedicated crew One crew start-to-finish, one phone number, full £5m public liability cover. Oxford-specific issues ## Local problems thatneed local knowledge. ### Solid-wall Victorian terraces Jericho, East Oxford and Cowley Victorian terraces are solid-wall, not cavity. They need breathable products for proper moisture management, modern plastic masonry coatings will trap damp and cause spalling. ### Conservation-area exterior constraints Much of central Oxford sits in conservation areas with restrictions on exterior colour, finish and sometimes material specification. We work within those constraints from quote stage. ### HMO wear and constant repaints HMO properties get heavy wear and frequent repaints. Cheap product choices accelerate the cycle; trade-grade scrubbable specifications slow it down and reduce per-tenancy cost over time. ### Surviving lath-and-plaster Many Oxford period homes retain original lath-and-plaster walls and ceilings. They move and crack differently to modern plasterboard and need flexible filler and the right primer.
