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.
Kingston Vale and Coombe substrates run to some of it dry-lined during a later refurbishment, over solid London stock brick, measured on the walk in from Norbiton (South Western) rather than assumed from a map. Nothing is drilled until the wall has been sounded, because Kingston Vale and Coombe gives us fixings landing in soft lime mortar joints instead of the brick body, and with 20% of homes here privately rented, it sets the booking date as often as the job does is the mistake that costs a KT2 customer twice.
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.
Private-estate gates and codes, long gravel drives and narrow park-edge lanes. Nearest station is Norbiton (South Western), and two cleaners for a flat, two to three for a house, working together in one visit rather than spreading the job across days.
