In St Margarets (TW1) the split is 43% flats to 56% houses over 2,701 households, and the stock is mainly Victorian.
The owner-occupier-led mix here (66% owned, 29% privately rented) means a TW1 diary swings between short-notice tenancy deadlines and appointments set a fortnight out.
St Margarets substrates run to solid London stock brick in TW1, some of it dry-lined during a later refurbishment, which is why London Borough of Richmond upon Thames kerb rules get settled before the van is loaded. Nothing is drilled until the wall has been sounded, because fixings landing in soft lime mortar joints instead of the brick body, as the St Margarets stock goes, where 66% owner-occupation means the same home is booked again rather than a new tenant each year is the mistake that costs a TW1 customer twice.
A village centre between Twickenham and Richmond, with riverside meadows. That character decides the practical detail of construction site clearance here far more than the borough boundary does. St Margarets is outside the Congestion Charge zone but inside ULEZ; our vehicles are compliant, so nothing is added for it.
Getting to the door matters as much as the job: narrow village streets with permit bays and flood-zone riverside access. St Margarets (South Western) is the nearest station, and two operatives with a 3.5t tipper as standard, scaling to four operatives and a 7.5t vehicle on strip-outs or where the waste has to be barrowed a long way to the frontage.
