The service, locally
After builders cleaning in Kenley CR8
Kenley's side returns and rear extensions leave the same four problems every time — track grit in the new bifolds, plaster dust in the old rooms, mortar splash on the patio and haze on the new floor on this side of Croydon — and this being a short walk from Kenley (Southern), with 12% of CR8 homes being privately rented.
Most Kenley bookings follow a rear extension, side return or loft conversion on this side of Croydon — and 21% one-person households here, with Croydon parking rules in play, which means the dust has travelled through the whole house rather than sitting in one room.
Typical works here: rear extensions, side returns and loft conversions. Access and parking: Very steep private drives, narrow lanes and limited turning space.
