Electrical upgrades in Reedham or Riddlesdown are not hidden in the hours. - General building / handyman work: from £80 an hour; from £80 an hour - A further repair is written on before it starts. - A failed circuit stays off and is written down. - A new board is not part of a seal or a patch. ## Handyman and general building work across Purley We serve Purley from our base in Banstead. - Purley Cross - Brighton Road - Foxley Lane - Webb Estate - Upper Woodcote Village - Riddlesdown - Purley Oaks - Reedham ## What happens on the day The repair on the note is the work: a patch, a window, or a seal. On the Webb Estate that might be making good after a board has been opened, and it is not a new electrical circuit. In a Riddlesdown Laing house a window seal is not a run of the outlets the 1930s rooms were short of. A small fix in a flat above the Brighton Road parades stays inside the flat. If a circuit fails while we are there, that circuit stays off and the note says so. ### Do the repair on the note Whatever patch, window or seal was written down is the work. A room we notice later joins in only once the note has been updated. ### Stop if a circuit fails A circuit that fails a test stays off. The building repair does not continue on that circuit, and the failure is written down. ### Leave upgrades off the note A consumer unit upgrade in Purley Oaks, or extra sockets in Riddlesdown, is not folded into a patch. Each of those is booked as itself. ## Questions about handyman work in Purley ### Is a Webb Estate patch a new circuit? No. The repair written down is the repair. Electrical circuits on a split supply are not added because a wall was opened. ### Will a seal in Riddlesdown include sockets? No. A Laing house in Riddlesdown that wants more outlets has that booked separately. The seal is only the seal. ### Can you fix something in the shop and the flat together? Only when both were written down. A flat above the Brighton Road parades and the shop are different premises. ### What if a circuit fails halfway? That circuit stays off and is noted. Other repairs continue only where they are still safe to touch. ### Is a consumer unit upgrade in Purley Oaks included? No. Homes in Purley Oaks may need that upgrade. It is not absorbed into a handyman note on the day itself. ## Other services in Purley - [Electrician in Purley](https://www.tmbelectrics.co.uk/electrician-purley): Electrician in Purley, Croydon (CR8).
