We understand that being in charge of a residential block in Croydon involves numerous day-to-day chores - maintaining common gardens, ensuring that halls and rubbish bins remain clean, etc. These are chores that our team handles so you can concentrate on what is important. We provide a no frills service when it comes to block gardening, community cleaning, landscaping work, routine maintenance and rubbish removal.
Each block is unique, and therefore, we fit into your needs. You may require a one-time overgrown garden clearance or a weekly clean-up schedule; we do it with great attention. We maintain low rates because we operate a lean operation and transfer this to you. And in case it is the first time we do a job, there is no risk to pay money to us; you pay only when you are totally satisfied with the job done.

View Details →It is not always easy to maintain the green areas surrounding a residential block in good condition. The mild climate in Croydon makes grass grow quickly, hedges have to be trimmed regularly, and weeds grow swiftly. All that is taken care of in our gardening service. We mow lawns, clip hedges, prune bushes, weed out undesirable plants and remove any litter that has accumulated on the grass. We also have areas that have grown to be wild. We hope to leave the garden area neat, secure, and nice to be used by residents.
We know that each has its own rhythm, block. Some require a gardener every two weeks, and others after a month. We operate under your time frame and budget. Visiting, we also have our own equipment and clean up all green waste. You need not worry about anything. In the case of blocks where a regular gardener has never existed, we can arrange a one-off deep clean of the entire outdoor space, cutting back of bushes, fallen leaves and a fresh cut of the lawn. Then we can establish a routine plan if you want.
In Croydon blocks, there tend to be shared patios, small courtyards, or strips of grass between car parks. We deal with the areas separately. Our approach is not the same everywhere. An example is that we have varying mowing heights of varying grasses, and we select weed killers that are environmentally friendly to children and pets. We also provide free tips on what is suitable to plant in Croydon soils and which require less water. This will save you money on watering in the long term.
Clean entrance, staircase, and hallway are a big deal to the residents in terms of their feelings about their house. We clean up blocks in Croydon, including all of the common indoor spaces. We also vacuum carpets, sweep hard floors, clean glass panels, wipe down surfaces and clean cobwebs on the ceiling. We clear junk mail, too, and any flyers that accumulate around letterboxes. The worst appearance of a block is usually the bin stores- we empty, sweep and disinfect them to ensure they do not smell and look presentable.
We do not only clean what is in our reach. We climb ladders - with elongated dusters on ceilings and light fittings - and we crawl on our hands and knees - cleaning off scuff marks on walls and skirting boards. In the case of blocks with stairs paved with carpets, we carry our own vacuum cleaner, which operates on power through a socket close by (we will seek permission in advance). We wash your block communal lounge or laundry room, as well. You say what should be done, and we do it.
As each block is new, we send you a checklist on each visit indicating what has been done. Photographs of the work done are also taken by us. In that manner, you will see what has been cleaned, and you can provide us feedback in a short period of time. Provided you indicate that anything is not to the standard within two days, we will go back and rectify it without any fee. Our promise was that.
In some cases, a block requires more than just ordinary gardening - it requires a complete overhaul. That is where our landscaping service will come in. We establish new fences, put up brick delineations around lawns, put up bike storage sheds, and design chill-out areas with seating and plants. We also cut down old and worn bushes and plant low-maintenance shrubs that remain green throughout the year. In cases where blocks have problems with cars parked on grass, we install low barriers or posts to guard the grass.
All landscaping projects begin with a site visit. We survey your room, hear what you desire, and draw a plain sketch. No pressure - you can say no at any point. With your green light, we will book the work and communicate with you on a daily basis. We will always capture before, during and after images so that you can know the progress. We also sweep up any debris and leave the site tidy. The gloomy outside spaces of many blocks in Croydon have been turned into pleasant places in which residents can actually utilise. We may do so with yours.
We are a small team, and therefore we are able to maintain lower prices compared to large landscaping companies. We do not do unnecessary things at a premium. You just pay for the materials and the number of hours we are working. You can be uncertain of an option, such as a brick island or a flower bed, and we can give you some advice on what will work best in the weather of Croydon and your budget.
Minor issues may turn out to be major headaches when they are not addressed. A loose handrail, a flickering light in the stairwell, a door that fails to close correctly, etc.- these are the things that irritate the residents and may even pose a threat to their safety. These minor problems are repaired in our simple maintenance service before they escalate. We replace the light bulbs, mend the door hinges, seal minor holes in the walls, and paint the ones that have peeled. We also repair broken slabs of pavement outside the entrance and leaking taps in communal toilets.
We are not constructors, but are familiar with the type of maintenance that blocks require weekly or monthly. In larger projects such as roof repair or serious plumbing, we will inform you and assist in locating an expert. We are the team, however, when it comes to the everyday stuff. We maintain a record of our little fixes, and we send you a report of them along with pictures. Then you can have a record of what has been repaired, and you can better budget for maintenance.
Older buildings in Croydon are frequently in need of increased maintenance. We are happy to work on buildings of any age. We understand how to pair paint colours, how to find spare parts for an old door handle, and how to operate with an older electrical system. There is no need to worry about locating several tradespeople; we will take care of the minute details so that you do not.
Rubbish in the bin store is one of the most typical issues we observe in the Croydon block. Even a single mattress or a few bags of old clothes placed next to the bins can easily invite more garbage. In no time, you have an informal dump. We sweep up that rubbish in less time - three days or so, on the understanding that you have supplied us with the go-ahead. We clean up all the stuff, wipe the floor, and disinfect it. When the bins belonging to that block get full, we remove the waste in our own van.
We not only accept the rubbish, but we also counsel you on what to do to avoid it from occurring again. It may be as easy as erecting a sign or locking the bin store. We can be of assistance with that as well. In instances of frequent clearance requirements, we can arrange to visit the bin area regularly, say once a month, to maintain a clean environment in the area. When the bin store is clean, you will be amazed at the way the entire block appears.
We believe in sharing knowledge. And we will provide you with free tips on maintaining your garden and common areas in good condition between visits when we come to your block in Croydon to quote. We will be able to explain to you what plants are least difficult to keep and how often the grass should be cut to achieve the best results, and what type of cleaning products will be the most efficient on your specific surfaces. You need not pay us to give you this advice--it is included in our service.

That you will find in the quality of our work.
