Census 2021 puts New Malden at 6,674 households with a median age of 40.3. The mainly Edwardian stock is owner-occupier-led, which is why 70% houses and 30% flats need different handling in KT3.
27% of households rent privately and 67% own, which is why cooker cleaning demand here peaks around tenancy changeovers and completion dates.
New Malden substrates run to some of it dry-lined during a later refurbishment — and solid London stock brick — the reality on the streets around The Korean high street on Burlington Road. Nothing is drilled until the wall has been sounded, because fixings landing in soft lime mortar joints instead of the brick body on these streets — and with 24% one-person households in New Malden, one adult is usually the only pair of hands on site is the mistake that costs a KT3 customer twice.
Two streets can behave very differently in New Malden: home to Europe's largest Korean community, with a high street to match. The quote reflects the street the job is actually on. New Malden is outside the Congestion Charge zone but inside ULEZ; our vehicles are compliant, so nothing is added for it.
Driveways on most streets; the high street has short loading bays. Nearest station is New Malden (South Western), and one technician for a freestanding cooker; two for 110cm ranges, where the doors alone are a two-person lift.
