Working in Croydon: what we plan for
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
Flat-pack manufacturers ship economically but the consequence is hundreds of small parts that have to be assembled in the right order with the right torque. ExpertHome's handymen build all major brands quickly and stably — and clear the packaging if you want.

- Wall-anchor requirements
