What makes Croydon different

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

IKEA's PAX, MALM, BESTÅ, KALLAX and METOD ranges have specific assembly quirks our handymen know inside out — including the right combinations for sliding doors, drawer dampers and lighting kits.

  • PAX, MALM, BESTÅ and more
  • Wall-fixing where required
  • Packaging removal on request
  • Stability and safety checks
