Walk Hampton and Hampton Hill from Hampton Court Palace nearby and Bushy Park outwards and the Georgian and early Victorian pattern is obvious: 38% of the 5,132 households in TW12 live in flats, 62% in houses.
Private renting sits at 19% and owner-occupation at 65%; the first group books extractor fan cleaning at short notice, the second plans it.
Hampton and Hampton Hill substrates run to some of it dry-lined during a later refurbishment — and solid London stock brick — where 65% owner-occupation means the same home is booked again rather than a new tenant each year. Nothing is drilled until the wall has been sounded, because in TW12, fixings landing in soft lime mortar joints instead of the brick body — with 16% social-rented stock locally, block access is agreed with the estate office first is the mistake that costs a TW12 customer twice.
Two streets can behave very differently in Hampton and Hampton Hill: riverside village near the palace, with the park and reservoirs behind. The quote reflects the street the job is actually on. Hampton and Hampton Hill is outside the Congestion Charge zone but inside ULEZ; our vehicles are compliant, so nothing is added for it.
On access, riverside lanes are narrow and flood-prone; driveways elsewhere — one reason one technician for domestic hoods and bathroom fans; two for island canopies and any commercial kitchen. Fitters travelling in use Hampton (South Western).
