General Contractor Crystal Palace
Friendly renovations that just work
All Well Property Services
You want a home that feels good. Warm. Safe. Easy to live in. We get that. General Contractor Crystal Palace is the service you call when the house needs real change, not just fresh paint. Kitchens that actually fit the family. Bathrooms that do not drip. Floors that do not squeak at 2 am.
Quick story. A Saturday morning, Westow Street. A client rings. Ceiling sagging after an old pipe popped behind the bath. Kids worried. We got there fast, made it safe, called our plumber, stripped the wet plaster, dried the frame, rebuilt clean. By Monday school run, no mess, no drama. That is how we work in Crystal Palace. Quiet, steady, hands on.
We build every day around SE19 and the Triangle. Gipsy Hill, Anerley, Upper Norwood, Penge. If you can see the mast from your road, we are close enough to help.

Our General Contractor Services
Home renovation specialist
Renovation is more than swapping taps. It is solving little pains you feel every day. That tight corner by the fridge. The dark hallway with three doors that clash. The shower that fights water pressure on top of the hill. We re-plan rooms so life flows. Open a wall for light. Move a doorway so a cot fits. Add storage under stairs that you actually use.
We like older stock around Crystal Palace. High ceilings. Deep skirting. We match the look so the new work feels like it was always there. If the house is newer, we bring clean lines and tough finishes that take family life. Our opinion? Good renovation beats buying bigger. You save stamp duty. You get the home you wanted all along.
Project management and permits
Permits scare people. It is ok. We deal with it daily. Planning for a rear extension near the Conservation Area. Lawful Development if your change fits the rules. Party Wall notices when a wall is shared with a neighbour on Hamlet Road. Building Control with Bromley, Croydon, Lambeth, or Southwark, depending on your street. We speak their language and keep you out of the stress.
You get a simple tracker with dates. What is submitted, what is approved, what is due. We also handle Thames Water build over if your manhole sits in the way. No guessing. No last-minute panic.
Licensed general contractor
We run a tight site. Electrical work by NICEIC. Gas by Gas Safe. Structural steel set by qualified fitters with calcs from a chartered engineer. We give you certificates at the end. We also carry full public and professional cover. That makes lenders happy and buyers calm if you move later.
Our view on quality is honest. We pick materials that last. We are not fancy for the sake of it. Good screws. Proper primers. Solid fixings. You will not see most of it. But you will feel it when doors still close sweet in winter.
Painter and decorator
Fresh colour changes a room fast. We sort the boring bits first. Fill, sand, stain block. Then two even coats of low odour paint that cures quick. Sash windows on Church Road get careful hand work. Kitchens get wipe clean eggshell so pasta night does not leave a mark. We keep edges sharp and floors spotless. You sleep in the room the same night.
Neighbours tell us the same thing. “No smell. No dust. Looks new.” That is the goal.
Building restoration service
Crystal Palace homes age like wine. But time bites hard. Rotten cills, cracked render, brick that swallowed too much rain. We fix the fabric with care. Cut out bad timber and splice with treated wood. Repoint London stock in lime so walls can breathe again. Steam clean algae from render with a soft wash so the skin stays strong.
Restoration stops bigger bills later. It also keeps the street pretty. A clean front is a gift to the whole row.
Interior construction contractors
This is the crew that makes the inside safe and solid. Stud walls straight. Insulation snug. Soundproofing where teens blast music over the café on Westow Hill. Tiling flat with tight grout lines. Joinery that sits flush and opens smooth.
We coordinate every trade so you do not play traffic cop. Plaster, sparks, plumbers, fitters. Same plan. Same pace. Fewer headaches.
Seasonal issues in Crystal Palace homes
Winter sits cold on the ridge. Old pipes complain. We lag them. Condensation kisses cold corners. We add vents and warm edges. Spring brings leaks where gutters meet alley walls. We clear them before paint season. Summer is paint time for exteriors. We book early so sun sets the coats right. Autumn drops leaves into every gully near the park. We sweep, seal, and keep water out.
Little fixes at the right time save big money later. We say that a lot because it is true.
