Old buildings, proper methods
Georgian terraces around Barnsbury, Canonbury and the squares off Upper Street reward respect: breathable materials, plaster repairs that match what is there, sash windows eased rather than butchered, and wiring routed with care through listed fabric. Our gallery includes a full property rewire completed in Islington, precisely the kind of invasive job where a multi trade firm shines, because the electricians, plasterers and decorators all answer to one schedule and the house comes back finished, not scarred.
Conversions and basement flats
Islington runs on converted flats, and conversions concentrate problems: shared soil stacks, party wall leaks, basement flats fighting damp, and communal hallways nobody owns until something fails. We untangle responsibility diplomatically, document cause for freeholders and managing agents, and fix the building rather than the argument. Communal areas across small blocks here run on our planned maintenance model.
Islington's dense rental market
Few boroughs pack more managed tenancies per street. Agents and landlords use us for the compliance stack, CP12s, EICRs with in house remedials, alarm checks, and for the rapid, evidenced responses that keep tenants happy and tribunals theoretical. Void turnarounds between professional tenancies are timed tight: repaint, refloor, deep fix, relist.
Where we cover
Angel, Barnsbury, Canonbury, Highbury, Holloway, Archway, Tufnell Park borders and the N1, N5, N7 and N19 postcodes, reached fast via the A1 and City Road corridors.
