About Gerrards Cross

Gerrards Cross grew up around its railway station and common, and today it has some of the larger houses we cover in the area out from Chorleywood via Chalfont St Peter. Wide roads lined with detached houses sit alongside a busy centre near the station. The size of many homes here means there is often more than one job worth doing at once, whether that is in a hallway, a loft space or a reception room that gets used every day.

Homes in Gerrards Cross

Many Gerrards Cross houses date from the Edwardian era through to more recent rebuilds, so ceiling heights, hallway widths and staircase styles vary a good deal from one property to the next. Generous hallways and boot rooms are common, as is loft space that owners want converted into simple extra storage rather than a full room. Some properties near the common retain older cottages, while elsewhere entire houses have been replaced with newer builds that still follow a similar scale to their neighbours.

Jobs we can help Gerrards Cross homeowners with

Larger hallways and boot rooms in Gerrards Cross lend themselves well to alcove shelving and cupboards or purpose-built storage near a back door, while bigger bedrooms often call for fitted wardrobes rather than freestanding furniture. On the decorating side, painting and decorating across a tall stairwell or an open-plan reception room needs proper planning for access and drying time between coats. Because these homes often have several rooms needing attention at similar intervals, it usually makes sense to plan a visit that covers more than one job, from a new internal door through to a repainted landing.
