Builders and joiners in Caterham

Caterham runs from the valley up onto the Downs, with older village property and steep plots, so access and levels are usually the first thing we look at rather than the last. From a run of fitted wardrobes to a full extension, we cover Caterham and the surrounding CR3 area as a matter of course.

Questions

Working in Caterham

What building work do you take on in Caterham?

Across Caterham (CR3) most of the work is extensions, renovations and bespoke joinery on hillside and village property, along with the plumbing, electrics and joinery that go with it. Caterham sits on the edge of the North Downs with green belt and conservation designations close by, which puts real limits on footprint and height and makes the design work worth doing before anything is committed to. Every job starts with a visit and a look at the property rather than a price guessed off a photograph.

Do you charge extra to come out to Caterham?

No. Travel is included in the price of the work. Caterham is roughly 7 miles from the workshop in Croydon, comfortably inside the 30 mile radius we cover, and that is stated up front rather than added at the end.

Have you worked in Caterham before?

Yes. Caterham runs from the valley up onto the Downs, with older village property and steep plots, so access and levels are usually the first thing we look at rather than the last. We are happy to talk through the kind of work we have done near Valley when you get in touch.

Does the housing in Caterham change how the job is done?

Very much so. Plots around Caterham are often sloping, and a level change of a metre across the footprint changes the foundations, the drainage and sometimes the whole design. Add the green belt and conservation constraints and it is worth getting the levels surveyed and the design settled before you fall in love with a drawing.

Can you make fitted joinery for a house in Caterham?

Yes, and it is made in our own workshop rather than ordered in. Wardrobes, media walls, bookcases, window seats and staircases are measured on site in Caterham, built to the room, and fitted by the same team that made them. It can be part of a bigger build or a stand-alone job.

How quickly can you quote a job in Caterham?

Usually within a week or so of you calling. Caterham is around 7 miles from the workshop, so getting out to look is straightforward. Quotes are free, carry no obligation, and the price comes to you in writing before anything starts.
