Census 2021 puts Addiscombe at 11,026 households with a median age of 36.7. The mainly Edwardian stock is mixed-tenure, which is why 58% houses and 42% flats need different handling in CR0.
Private renting sits at 33% and owner-occupation at 54%; the first group books pre-move-in cleaning at short notice, the second plans it.
Addiscombe substrates run to solid London stock brick in CR0, some of it dry-lined during a later refurbishment — which is what a 42% flat share across the ONS neighbourhood covering Addiscombe actually produces. Nothing is drilled until the wall has been sounded, because in CR0, fixings landing in soft lime mortar joints instead of the brick body — measured on the walk in from Addiscombe (Tramlink) rather than assumed from a map is the mistake that costs a CR0 customer twice.
Two streets can behave very differently in Addiscombe: tree-lined Edwardian streets and a small parade east of central Croydon. The quote reflects the street the job is actually on. Addiscombe is outside the Congestion Charge zone but inside ULEZ; our vehicles are compliant, so nothing is added for it.
On access, tram-line crossings, narrow terraced streets and permit bays near the tram stops — one reason one cleaner for a flat; two for a house, so the property is finished in one visit rather than split across a day. Fitters travelling in use Addiscombe (Tramlink).
