Walk Putney from Putney Bridge and the Boat Race start outwards and the mainly Victorian pattern is obvious: 72% of the 20,613 households in SW15 live in flats, 28% in houses.
Owner-occupation runs at 47% in Putney, so alongside the 38% rental churn there is steady planned work — refurbishments, downsizes and probate clearances booked weeks ahead.
Walls are dot-and-dab plasterboard over blockwork in Putney, with metal stud partitions between rooms — measured on the walk in from Putney (South Western) rather than assumed from a map, so the fixing that matters in Putney is chosen on site — the usual failure here is in SW15, short screws that grip only the board and slowly lever it off the dabs — and boat race day closures, putney high street bus gate and mansion blocks with small lifts.
Two streets can behave very differently in Putney: the Boat Race start, the embankment rowing clubs and the high street shops. The quote reflects the street the job is actually on. Putney is outside the Congestion Charge zone but inside ULEZ; our vehicles are compliant, so nothing is added for it.
On access, boat Race day closures, Putney High Street bus gate and mansion blocks with small lifts — one reason one technician and a van-mounted dip tank; two for commercial ranges or where a lift booking limits the time on site. Fitters travelling in use Putney (South Western).
