11,026 households sit inside the CR0 neighbourhood covering Addiscombe. The build is mainly Edwardian, the tenure profile mixed-tenure, and 42% of those homes are flats.
With 33% private renting against 54% owner-occupied, most CR0 bookings land on a move-in day rather than a weekend.
Walls are solid London stock brick in Addiscombe, some of it dry-lined during a later refurbishment, which is why London Borough of Croydon kerb rules get settled before the van is loaded, so the fixing that matters in Addiscombe is chosen on site — the usual failure here is fixings landing in soft lime mortar joints instead of the brick body, as the Addiscombe stock goes, which is what a 42% flat share across the ONS neighbourhood covering Addiscombe actually produces.
Addiscombe 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 — tree-lined Edwardian streets and a small parade east of central Croydon — which is why a CR0 quote is not a Croydon average.
On access, tram-line crossings, narrow terraced streets and permit bays near the tram stops — one reason two crew and a Luton on most strip-outs; three crew and a tipper where the load is rubble, hardcore or soil and weight rather than volume decides the run.
