Walk Wimbledon Park from Wimbledon Park lake and the All England Club next door outwards and the mainly Edwardian pattern is obvious: 42% of the 3,512 households in SW19 live in flats, 58% in houses.
30% of households rent privately and 61% own, which is why driveway cleaning demand here peaks around tenancy changeovers and completion dates.
Walls are solid London stock brick in Wimbledon Park, some of it dry-lined during a later refurbishment — and with 30% of homes here privately rented, it sets the booking date as often as the job does, so the fixing that matters in Wimbledon Park is chosen on site — the usual failure here is fixings landing in soft lime mortar joints instead of the brick body on these streets — measured on the walk in from Wimbledon Park (District) rather than assumed from a map.
Anyone who knows Wimbledon Park knows the pattern near Wimbledon Park lake and the All England Club next door: the park and lake below the tennis grounds, with Edwardian streets on the slope down to Southfields. We plan the SW19 visit around it. Wimbledon Park is outside the Congestion Charge zone but inside ULEZ; our vehicles are compliant, so nothing is added for it.
On access, championships fortnight parking bans, steep hill streets and shared side entrances to the maisonettes — one reason one technician and a van-mounted hot-water pressure washer for most driveways; two on larger block-paving jobs where re-sanding is included, since brushing sand in is a second task run alongside the wash. Fitters travelling in use Wimbledon Park (District).
