In Richmond Hill and Ham (TW10) the split is 35% flats to 65% houses over 2,156 households, and the stock is Georgian and early Victorian.
The owner-occupier-led mix here (58% owned, 15% privately rented) means a TW10 diary swings between short-notice tenancy deadlines and appointments set a fortnight out.
Expect solid London stock brick in Richmond Hill and Ham, some of it dry-lined during a later refurbishment, and with 30% one-person households in Richmond Hill and Ham, one adult is usually the only pair of hands on site behind the plaster in TW10. That is why fixings are picked in the room rather than off a van shelf, and why Richmond Hill and Ham gives us fixings landing in soft lime mortar joints instead of the brick body, where 58% owner-occupation means the same home is booked again rather than a new tenant each year is the fault we are called back to undo.
Richmond Hill and Ham is outside the Congestion Charge zone but inside ULEZ; our vehicles are compliant, so nothing is added for it. What shapes the job more is the neighbourhood itself — the protected view from the hill, Ham House and the riverside meadows below — which is why a TW10 quote is not a Richmond upon Thames average.
Getting to the door matters as much as the job: extremely steep hill, narrow riverside lanes at Ham and conservation-area limits. Richmond (District, Overground, South Western) is the nearest station, and one to four operatives depending on floor area, with a named supervisor and a mobile cover team for sickness.
