Handyman in Mitcham: local knowledge
Mitcham's inter-war and post-war housing stock presents specific maintenance challenges. Properties built in the 1930s through to the 1960s may contain asbestos in textured coatings, floor tiles, soffit boards, and pipe lagging, which must be identified and managed before any refurbishment work begins. The London clay soil in this area also causes subsidence movement, leading to cracked plaster, sticking doors, and gaps between walls and ceilings.

Pro tip for Mitcham homeowners
Before any renovation work in a Mitcham property built before 1980, consider having a refurbishment asbestos survey carried out. Artex ceilings, vinyl floor tiles, and soffit boards in properties from this era can all contain asbestos. Disturbing these materials without knowing what they are can create a health hazard and a costly remediation problem. A survey typically costs a few hundred pounds and can save you from a much more expensive situation.
Property maintenance in Mitcham: what we typically see
Mitcham is largely residential with a mix of inter-war semis and post-war housing. The area around the cricket green has some older Victorian properties, but most of the housing stock dates from the 1930s through to the 1960s. We regularly carry out maintenance work on 1930s semi-detached houses, post-war council houses, Victorian cottages, and ex-council flats across CR4.
The most common maintenance jobs in Mitcham include dated heating systems in post-war housing and asbestos in properties built between the 1950s and 1980s. Older properties tend to need more ongoing upkeep, from sticking doors and draughty windows to cracked plaster and worn-out kitchen fittings. We handle the full range of general repairs and improvements.
For landlords, property maintenance between tenancies is critical for keeping the property in good condition and attracting quality tenants. We provide complete between-tenancy services including repairs, painting touch-ups, deep cleaning coordination, and snagging work across Mitcham.

I want to renovate the kitchen in my 1960s Mitcham house but I am worried about asbestos. What should I do?
Your concern is sensible. In a 1960s property, the most likely locations for asbestos in a kitchen are the vinyl floor tiles, any textured ceiling coating, and the soffit board under the eaves if the kitchen has an external wall. We recommend a refurbishment asbestos survey before starting work. If asbestos is found in materials that need to be disturbed, a licensed contractor removes them under controlled conditions before we begin the refit. We can coordinate the entire process so you do not have to manage multiple contractors.
