That variety means the right adaptation differs street by street. A town-centre flat is usually already level inside, so the work is about the bathroom, turning space and the communal door. A terrace off Lower Addiscombe Road is a different job entirely, with a narrow hall and a bathroom in the rear addition. We plan Croydon work in scheduled runs from our Keston yard, with parking, deliveries and waste agreed in advance, because in the busier parts of the town those logistics genuinely affect how smoothly a job goes. Building Care Services is family-run and owner-led by Vernon Martins, with more than 30 years of experience. Every Croydon project starts with a free, no-obligation visit. ### Our Base Kimberley Business ParkLeaves Green, KestonBR2 6HL - Monday – Friday: 7:30am – 5:00pm - Saturday: 7:30am – 12:00pm - Sunday: Closed020 3432 3097Book a Free Assessment Local Knowledge ## What Adapting HomesIn Croydon Actually Involves ### Where we work in Croydon We cover central Croydon and the surrounding areas: Addiscombe, Shirley, South Norwood, Thornton Heath, Waddon, Purley, Sanderstead, Selsdon, Coulsdon and Norbury. Work here is scheduled in continuous runs so the team is on your job for full days rather than losing hours in traffic. For council and housing-association homes we work to the landlord's consents and specifications, identified at survey. Call with your postcode and we will tell you honestly when we can visit and what a realistic start looks like. ### Croydon property types we adapt Town-centre and high-rise flats: level inside already, so the bathroom, turning space, lift access and communal entrance decide what is worth doing. Victorian terraces in Addiscombe, South Norwood and Thornton Heath: narrow halls, rear-addition bathrooms and steps to the garden. Interwar and post-war semis in Shirley, Waddon and Selsdon: good scope for ground-floor shower rooms, extensions and proper ramps. Larger detached houses towards Purley and Sanderstead: often on sloping plots, with room for lifts and single-level living arrangements. ### What Croydon households ask us for most Bath-to-shower and full wet-room conversions, frequently after a hospital stay. Ground-floor shower rooms and bedrooms formed from existing rooms or a small extension. Ramps, level thresholds and handrails at front and rear entrances, including stepped and sloping approaches. Door widening, better lighting and fall-prevention adaptations throughout the home.

Local Challenges ## The Problems ParticularTo Croydon Homes ### Flats above flats A wet room over an occupied flat needs careful tanking, falls and drainage design, with no margin for a leak. ### Communal entrances Level access at the shared front door involves the freeholder or landlord as well as the household. ### Narrow terraced halls Widening an opening on the route to the bathroom is usually structural work. ### Sloping plots towards Purley Safe ramp gradients need length and landings, so external levels often have to be reworked. ### Small rear-addition bathrooms These rarely take a wet room without the layout and drainage being reconsidered. ### Parking and access Controlled parking and busy streets are planned into the programme rather than improvised.
