Handyman in
Bedminster
Victorian terraces, narrow access and alcoves that are never square.
Bedminster is mostly Victorian and Edwardian terraced housing, and that shapes the work. Chimney breast alcoves are rarely the same width top to bottom, original floorboards move, and rear access is often through the house or down a shared lane.
LW Services covers Bedminster and the surrounding BS3 streets. Also working nearby in North Street, Windmill Hill, Ashton Gate and Southville. See the full list of services.
What comes up in Bedminster
- Alcove shelving and storage scribed to walls that are out of true, which is standard in BS3 terraces rather than the exception.
- Suspended timber floors that creak or bounce, usually needing boards refixed and airbricks cleared before any new flooring goes down.
- Small rear gardens and courtyards where fencing, gates and raised beds have to be built in tight spaces, often with materials carried through the house.
Working in
Bedminster
Can you get materials to a Bedminster rear garden?
Usually yes. Many BS3 terraces have no rear vehicle access, so materials come through the house with dust sheets down, or are cut to size outside first. It is planned before the day rather than discovered on it.
Do you work on period features?
Original skirting, architrave and floorboards can normally be repaired or matched rather than replaced. Matching an existing profile is usually possible.
