The CR2 stock around Sanderstead Pond and the Gruffy is inter-war. ONS records 15% flats, 85% houses and 3,008 households in Sanderstead.
Private renting sits at 10% and owner-occupation at 88%; the first group books pathway jet washing at short notice, the second plans it.
Expect solid London stock brick in CR2, some of it dry-lined during a later refurbishment — and with 10% of homes here privately rented, it sets the booking date as often as the job does behind the plaster in CR2. That is why fixings are picked in the room rather than off a van shelf, and why in CR2, fixings landing in soft lime mortar joints instead of the brick body — which is why London Borough of Croydon kerb rules get settled before the van is loaded is the fault we are called back to undo.
Two streets can behave very differently in Sanderstead: hilltop village with a green, a church and wide views over the downs. The quote reflects the street the job is actually on. Sanderstead is outside the Congestion Charge zone but inside ULEZ; our vehicles are compliant, so nothing is added for it.
On access, wide suburban roads and driveways; only the hill approaches are tight — one reason one technician for a private path; two where a communal walkway has to stay open to residents while the work is done, so one can manage access while the other washes. Fitters travelling in use Sanderstead (Southern).
