The TW11 stock around Teddington Lock and Bushy Park is mainly Victorian. ONS records 46% flats, 54% houses and 10,821 households in Teddington.
Private renting sits at 25% and owner-occupation at 65%; the first group books commercial cleaning at short notice, the second plans it.
Teddington substrates run to with solid brick on the party and external walls, over lath and plaster over timber studs — and with 25% of homes here privately rented, it sets the booking date as often as the job does. Nothing is drilled until the wall has been sounded, because a plasterboard plug spun into lime plaster; locally that also means which crumbles the key and drops the panel — measured on the walk in from Teddington (South Western) rather than assumed from a map is the mistake that costs a TW11 customer twice.
Two streets can behave very differently in Teddington: the lock, a village high street and Bushy Park on the doorstep. The quote reflects the street the job is actually on. Teddington is outside the Congestion Charge zone but inside ULEZ; our vehicles are compliant, so nothing is added for it.
Getting to the door matters as much as the job: narrow high street with timed loading; residential roads mostly have driveways. Teddington (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.
