Need a handyman in Croydon? We cover CR0 and the surrounding CR postcodes. Croydon town centre, South Croydon, Addiscombe, Shirley and Waddon, for repairs, carpentry, TV mounting, flat-pack assembly, decorating and maintenance. Rates are £80-£100 per hour, fixed before we start.
Croydon covers an unusually wide range of property for one town. The centre has high-rise apartments and a growing number of office-to-residential conversions, while a short walk out takes you into Victorian and Edwardian terraces around Addiscombe and South Croydon and interwar semis further towards Shirley and Selsdon.
That range means the fixings and the approach change street by street. Tower blocks and conversions are concrete and metal stud; the terraces are solid brick with lath-and-plaster; the semis are cavity block. We carry anchors for all three and check the wall before drilling, which is the difference between a shelf that holds and one that pulls out.

What our Croydon handymen cover
How it works
Croydon has a large rental market, especially in the town-centre conversions and we do a lot of landlord and letting-agent work here, reactive repairs, between-tenancy make-goods and snag lists cleared in one visit with photos and a single invoice.
For specific jobs, see our pages on property maintenance, TV mounting and furniture assembly, all available across Croydon.
