Property styles in Croydon
Housing ranges from Victorian and Edwardian terraces near the town centre and South Croydon, through interwar semis across Addiscombe, Shirley and Thornton Heath, to larger detached houses in Purley, Coulsdon and Sanderstead. Loft conversions and rear extensions are common on the terraced and semi-detached stock, while the larger plots further south suit more substantial extension and outbuilding projects.
Planning considerations
Croydon Council (London Borough of Croydon) is the local planning authority. Several residential areas, including parts of South Croydon, Coulsdon and Addiscombe, are conservation areas, and parts of the borough's southern edge fall within the Metropolitan Green Belt, which affects extensions and new structures. As with all London boroughs, permitted development rights can also be more restricted on flats and some converted properties.

Who is responsible for maintaining fire doors after installation?
The building's responsible person under fire safety legislation has an ongoing duty to check fire doors — self-closing correctly, seals intact and undamaged. We fit doors correctly at installation and can include periodic checks in a maintenance contract, but day-to-day responsibility sits with the responsible person.
What rating of fire door do I need?
This depends on the building's fire risk assessment and means of escape strategy — commonly FD30 or FD60 — rather than being assumed. We install to the rating specified in your assessment.
