Teddington substrates run to lath and plaster over timber studs in TW11, with solid brick on the party and external walls — a median age of 42 in this neighbourhood shapes what gets ordered here. Nothing is drilled until the wall has been sounded, because a plasterboard plug spun into lime plaster in Teddington, which crumbles the key and drops the panel — and narrow high street with timed loading; residential roads mostly have driveways is the mistake that costs a TW11 customer twice.

Teddington is outside the Congestion Charge zone but inside ULEZ; our vehicles are compliant, so nothing is added for it.
On access, narrow high street with timed loading; residential roads mostly have driveways — 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.
