Why people in Croydon choose ExpertHome

Local property mix: Edwardian terraces through Addiscombe, inter-war semis in Purley and South Croydon, and a wave of tower-block development around East Croydon station.

Knowing the new-build quirks

New-build estates have specific patterns — plasterboard partitions instead of brick, dot-and-dab kitchens, dust-laden trickle vents that haven't been cleaned since handover, and snag-list paintwork that's easy to mark. Our handymen carry spacer fixings for dot-and-dab walls (so plasterboard doesn't tear), and our cleaning teams pay special attention to fine builder's dust that lingers in extractor housings months after handover.

What's included

Stretch-in fitting — the long-lasting method — with gripper rods, fresh underlay, kicker stretching and clean door-bar trims.

  • Underlay and gripper supply
  • Stretch-in fitting
  • Door bars and trims
  • Old carpet uplift on request
