Bournemouth’s coastal setting and building stock shape the damage we are called to attend. Flooding is a real local risk. Many areas see surface water flooding as the single biggest threat to property. Heavy rain runs off a densely populated, hilly townscape faster than the drains can cope. Combine this with unsettled weather and flooding can often bring significant disruption.
Much of Dorset also sits on chalk, one of the aquifers most prone to groundwater flooding, so after a wet winter, water can rise and flood low ground and basements even if there is no river nearby. Factor in the seafront, and the harbours in Poole and Christchurch and the tidal and coastal flooding risk remains a concern.
The building stock throughout Bournemouth is mixed with flats, seaside conversions, HMOs and traditional homes. Their dense supply means an escape of water or a fire at one property can spread quickly to another nearby. Older properties may also notice prominent condensation and mould due to poor ventilation. Furthermore, Bournemouth is a hotspot for hospitality venues, and these are far from being risk-free. Kitchen fires, damp, flooding and hazardous spills are all issues that may require specialist attention.

Our Bournemouth work spans many sectors, and one that is often utilised is specialist cleaning. When staining appeared on an external brick wall of a Bournemouth care home following refurbishment, we were called to restore the wall's appearance without affecting the masonry.
Because the wall sat right beside the staff entrance and within the car park, we planned the job carefully around the running of the home, setting up barriers and safe-working areas to keep staff, visitors and deliveries moving throughout. Using a specialist DOFF cleaning system, which lifts staining with controlled heat and low pressure, our team gently removed the marks from the brickwork while preserving the surface and integrity of the masonry.
The work was completed in just one visit, with the area left clean, safe and ready for normal use.
Our jobs are varied, and customers approach us at all times of the year with a property issue that needs immediate attention. Pamma from Bournemouth came to us to request a deep clean of their home.
“The former occupier of the flat were heavy smokers and have been living there for more than 10 years. The whole flat, even the outside of the main door reeked of nicotine and the smell of cigarettes. As we are non-smokers so we needed a deep clean of the flat. The smell of cigarettes and nicotine were no longer there after the treatment. Although I asked loads of questions as this was my first time owning a property, they were very friendly, patient and polite.”
