The SW8 stock around The US Embassy at Nine Elms is mainly Victorian. ONS records 90% flats, 11% houses and 10,597 households in Vauxhall and Nine Elms.
Private renting sits at 37% and owner-occupation at 28%; the first group books extractor fan cleaning at short notice, the second plans it.

That is why fixings are picked in the room rather than off a van shelf, and why in SW8, drilling blind into a panel with reinforcement or a buried cable behind it — which is why London Borough of Lambeth kerb rules get settled before the van is loaded is the fault we are called back to undo.

Gyratory red routes, tower loading docks booked in advance and construction diversions. Nearest station is Vauxhall (Victoria, National Rail), and one technician for domestic hoods and bathroom fans; two for island canopies and any commercial kitchen.
