- One team, every trade
Mitcham grew up in the 1920s and 30s, and its building work reflects that: street after street of interwar and 1930s semis around Mitcham Common and off London Road, most now at the age where the brickwork, render and bay windows want attention. Repointing ageing mortar, cutting back and refreshing cracked or blown pebbledash and render, and checking the bay-window lintels and structure where movement has opened cracks above the windows are the everyday jobs here.
These semis also take extensions well, and rear and side additions are a common ask — built and tied cleanly into the existing brickwork, then scoped and priced after a proper look rather than over the phone. On the postwar estates around Phipps Bridge and Pollards Hill, a good share of the homes are now privately owned and being modernised, so refurbishment — making good, plaster, render and the trades that follow — is steady work. And around the historic Cricket Green and Fair Green the older Victorian terraces bring the solid-wall repointing and repairs that come with age.
We cover CR4 for homeowners and for the landlords and agents letting houses and flats across the area. Small repairs — a patch of render, a length of pointing, a cracked lintel — we price and book quickly. Larger and structural jobs, including extensions, we assess on a site visit and quote in full, with a realistic timescale, and bring our own carpentry, plumbing and decorating trades in so a bigger project runs under one team.

Why Mitcham homes and landlords rely on us for building work
The bay-fronted interwar and 1930s semis around Mitcham Common and Lower Mitcham share a predictable set of building jobs. The rendered and pebbledashed finishes crack and blow as they age and water gets behind them, so we cut back the loose material, repair the background and re-render or re-dash to match. The mortar joints in the exposed brickwork need raking out and repointing, and the shallow lintels over the bay windows move with age — we check, support and repair the bay structure before making good above.
On the Phipps Bridge and Pollards Hill estates, the postwar homes coming into private ownership are being brought up to date, and we handle the building side of that — making good tired plaster and brickwork, repairing render, and running the refurbishment through to the carpentry and decorating that finish it.
Near the Cricket Green and Fair Green the older terraces need solid-wall care: breathable repointing, spalled-brick repairs and blown plaster cut back and re-skimmed. Rear extensions are common across CR4, and we tie new work into the existing house cleanly, with access and materials planned around the tram stops and the busier London Road.
