The cleaning demands of Canterbury's Federation and Edwardian homes
Canterbury's housing stock is predominantly Federation and Edwardian — built between 1900 and 1920 on generous blocks with wide hallways, high ceilings, ornate fireplaces, and substantial gardens.

Post-renovation cleaning for Canterbury's heritage extensions
Canterbury's Federation homes are frequently extended — rear additions that add modern kitchens, living areas, and sometimes a second storey while preserving the heritage front. These renovations leave behind plaster dust (which settles in every piece of original fretwork), adhesive residue on heritage floors, paint overspray on original window frames, and construction grit in tessellated tile grout lines. Standard post-renovation…
