Croft · For Landlords
Buy-to-Let Window Dressing across Croft
Between Culcheth and Winwick, Croft covers 1 postcode districts — WA3 7. Culcheth (2 mi) and Risley (1.5 mi) sit either side of Croft — postcodes WA3 7 across the A574 Smith Lane corridor. We hold spare mechanisms, chains and end-caps in the workshop for the systems we most often specify to landlord clients — so a snapped chain during a tenancy is fixed inside a week, not a fortnight. We survey with your inventory clerk if you want — every measurement photographed and filed by property reference, and re-fits during void periods are prioritised so nothing sits on a spare-key run. A typical Croft landlords run pairs a village cottage in WA3 7 with a 1970s detached in WA3 7 on the same fitting day. Council/postcode note: Warrington Borough Council runs WA3 7; parking permits sorted before the fit if the street needs them.
Who this is for — and who it isn't
You want something that fits the deposit-return brief, survives an average AST, and doesn't invite tenant complaints about heat, glare or privacy.
Portfolio landlords, single-buy-to-let owners and letting agents who want the phone to stop ringing.
In Croft (WA3 7) that translates into village cottage and 1970s detached, mostly along the A574 Smith Lane corridor.
Our process — adjusted for landlords
We survey with your inventory clerk if you want — every measurement photographed and filed by property reference, and re-fits during void periods are prioritised so nothing sits on a spare-key run.
Croft survey days are grouped so travel stays tight — the workshop is 15 min from stockton heath, on the M6 J21 — 4 min corridor.
The credibility bit
We hold spare mechanisms, chains and end-caps in the workshop for the systems we most often specify to landlord clients — so a snapped chain during a tenancy is fixed inside a week, not a fortnight.
The single biggest cause of landlord blind call-outs is the pull-cord — every product we specify for BTL is cordless or breakaway by design.
Typical Croft spend
Typical spend £400–£900 per property for a 2-bed flat, £900–£1,600 for a 3-bed house. Trade discount kicks in from the fourth property.
Whole-house Croft projects in this bracket usually sit within the £2,000 – £4,800 band. Every figure on our quote is fixed and 90-day valid — no follow-up phone call to "re-cost".
What actually matters — in the order it matters
Every landlords survey we run in Croft lands on the same short list:
- Child-safety compliance (BS EN 13120) — no exposed cords
- Tough fabric or slat that survives a two-year AST cycle
- Spare parts stocked so a broken chain doesn't mean a full replacement
- Invoice addressed to the letting entity, not the tenant
- One team across a mixed portfolio — same spec, same paperwork

Common questions
Answers before you call
Can you survey during a void so we can re-let quickly?
Yes — we prioritise void-period surveys over new-build enquiries because the clock is ticking on your rent. Most voids in our area are quoted within 48 hours and fitted inside two weeks.
Can I see recent work from around Croft?
Yes — recent landlords installs across Culcheth, Risley and Winwick can be shared on the survey visit. Nothing published without the customer's written OK.
What happens if a tenant damages a blind mid-tenancy?
Call us with the property reference and we usually have the same mechanism in stock. Small repairs are often under £60 including a return visit; anything worth replacing is quoted before we start.
