Property care in St Ives, done quietly and properly.
A town with a chapel on its bridge understands that buildings deserve looking after. From the riverside cottages and Monday market town centre to the newer homes towards the guided busway, we bring the same standard to every front door: insured work, fixed written prices, and honest advice.

The Room Refresh
Our signature service: one room taken from tired to finished, every trade it needs, one written price. The room is the job, not the trade.
One room, finished →Repairs & maintenance
Sticking doors, dripping taps, failed sealant, loose banisters and everything else on the list you have been meaning to sort.
What we repair →Decorating & finishing
Rooms, hallways and external joinery painted properly, with the preparation that makes it last through more than one winter.
Our approach →Joinery & restoration
Riverside homes and period cottages deserve repair before replacement. We restore where it makes sense, and say so honestly when it does not.
Restoration first →Gardening & outdoors
Lawns, hedges, beds and borders kept in shape, plus the outdoor maintenance that protects the house itself: gutters, fences, gates and sheds.
From gate to fence →Storage & loft
Alcove joinery, loft boarding above the insulation, and the under-stairs cupboard put to work.
Read more →Woodburning stoves
Hearths, oak beams and finishing, with registered specialists for the regulated steps.
Read more →A warmer, quieter home
Draughts stopped and insulation topped up, with honest advice on what is not worth doing.
Read more →Staying put, comfortably
Solid rails, better stair light and a bathroom that stops being a worry.
Read more →The Home Health Check
A written read on the whole house: what needs doing now, and what to leave alone.
Read more →Home care plans
Seasonal, quarterly or monthly visits that keep a home feeling looked after, with small problems caught while they are still small.
Compare the plans →Close enough to notice
Homes near water work harder than most: damp air, seasonal movement, weather off the meadows. Regular, local attention catches what an annual panic never does. We are a short hop along the Ouse, with no call-out fees, because there is nothing to call out from.
