Horspath is a village about four miles east of Oxford, at the foot of Shotover Hill, with older stone cottages and many post-war family homes. Post-war houses often need practical updates: new flooring, kitchen and bathroom refreshes, doors eased and locks replaced. Cottages need gentler work, with fixings suited to old walls when putting up shelves, curtain poles or blinds. Horspath is just outside the ring road, so even a single small job is easy for us to fit in.
