In Teddington (TW11) the split is 46% flats to 54% houses over 10,821 households, and the stock is mainly Victorian.

Teddington substrates run to with solid brick on the party and external walls, over lath and plaster over timber studs, and narrow high street with timed loading; residential roads mostly have driveways. Nothing is drilled until the wall has been sounded, because which crumbles the key and drops the panel, over a plasterboard plug spun into lime plaster, where 65% owner-occupation means the same home is booked again rather than a new tenant each year is the mistake that costs a TW11 customer twice.

On access, narrow high street with timed loading; residential roads mostly have driveways — one reason 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.
