In Kingston Vale and Coombe (KT2) the split is 12% flats to 88% houses over 2,354 households, and the stock is post-war.
With 20% private renting against 77% owner-occupied, most KT2 bookings land on a move-in day rather than a weekend.
Walls are some of it dry-lined during a later refurbishment — and solid London stock brick, a median age of 45 in this neighbourhood shapes what gets ordered here, so the fixing that matters in Kingston Vale and Coombe is chosen on site — the usual failure here is Kingston Vale and Coombe gives us fixings landing in soft lime mortar joints instead of the brick body, which is what a 12% flat share across the ONS neighbourhood covering Kingston Vale and Coombe actually produces.
Kingston Vale and Coombe 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 — private estates of large houses on the slope below Richmond Park's Robin Hood Gate — which is why a KT2 quote is not a Kingston upon Thames average.
Getting to the door matters as much as the job: private-estate gates and codes, long gravel drives and narrow park-edge lanes. Norbiton (South Western) is the nearest station, and one technician with a portable extraction machine and air mover on a single household booking; two technicians on HMO, student accommodation and serviced-apartment rounds where six or more mattresses are cleaned in a day.
