Streatham is where we are based, so it gets our fastest response for building work and our most detailed local knowledge — from the small stuff to a full refurbishment. It also has one of the broadest ranges of stock on our patch: Victorian terraces off the High Road split into flats, Edwardian terraces around Streatham Common, mansion blocks and purpose-built flats along the High Road, and the larger period houses up around Telford Park and Streatham Hill.
That range means the building work spans everything. The larger houses up the hill carry extensive brickwork and render and the occasional structural crack that runs across several rooms; the terraces need solid-wall repointing, bay-front repairs and blown plaster made good; the mansion blocks and conversions need communal repairs done to the building's standards and sequenced around occupied flats. Damp in the lower rooms of divided houses is a steady thread, traced to the cause before anything is made good.
We cover SW16 and SW2 Streatham for homeowners and for the many landlords and agents letting conversions and mansion-flat homes here. Small repairs we can often reach the same or next day. Larger and structural work — an extension, a movement crack, a fuller refurbishment across several trades — we scope on a site visit and quote in full, and being round the corner makes getting a builder out to look straightforward.

Why Streatham homes and landlords rely on us for building work
Up around Telford Park and Streatham Hill the larger period houses sit on higher, elevated ground and carry long elevations of brick and render. The building jobs here run bigger: matching repointing and render across a wide frontage, investigating settlement cracks that span rooms, and repairing parapets, chimney stacks and the flat roofs over rear additions. We match materials to the original so a repair on a prominent house does not read as a patch.
The terraces off Streatham High Road, Leigham Court Road and Gleneagle Road need the solid-wall treatment — breathable repointing, spalled-brick and bay repairs, blown plaster cut back and re-skimmed — and, in the many that have been split into flats, damp in the lower-ground and ground-floor rooms traced and put right.
Along the High Road the mansion blocks and purpose-built flats bring render, concrete and communal repairs, where access runs through shared corridors and stairs and dust and noise have to be kept in check. Being based in SW16, we can get a builder to any of it quickly, and plan scaffolding, skips and access on one of London's longest and busiest high streets without holding up the parade.

Building Services in Streatham — FAQs
How quickly can you get to a job in Streatham?
Streatham is where we are based, so we can usually get to local jobs quickly — often the same day for smaller repairs, depending on our schedule.
Do you know the older properties common in Streatham?
Yes. Many Streatham homes are Victorian or Edwardian conversions, and we are used to the quirks that come with them — from original woodwork to older plumbing.
Do you look after converted flats and mansion blocks in Streatham?
Yes. A lot of Streatham's Victorian and Edwardian terraces have been split into flats, and there are mansion blocks and purpose-built flats along the High Road. We are used to the shared soil stacks, communal plumbing and older pipework that come with them.
Do you work on the larger period houses around Streatham Hill and Telford Park?
We do. The bigger houses up towards Streatham Hill and Telford Park often need sympathetic upkeep — sash windows, tired plaster, redecoration and older heating — and we handle that everyday work with one team covering every trade.
Do you take on small building jobs as well as larger ones?
Yes. We handle small repairs such as pointing, plastering and crack repairs, right through to larger refurbishment projects. Tell us the scope and we will advise.
Will you look at the job before quoting?
For building work we usually arrange a visit so we can assess the job properly and give you an accurate, honest quote rather than a rough guess.
Can you combine building work with other trades?
Yes — because we cover plumbing, carpentry, decorating and more in-house, we can manage a project that spans several trades with one team.
Do you fix damp problems?
Yes. We deal with damp in basements, lower-ground floors and older walls — we look for the cause first, then carry out the right repair rather than just covering it over.
Can you handle a full refurbishment?
Yes. From tired brickwork and plaster to a whole-property refurbishment, we can plan and run the job, bringing in our plumbing, carpentry and decorating trades as needed.
Do you carry out small extensions and alterations?
We take on small extensions, alterations and structural changes. We visit first to assess the work and advise on what is realistic before quoting.
