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 hotel clearance at short notice, the second plans it.
Addiscombe substrates run to solid London stock brick in Addiscombe, 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 — which is why London Borough of Croydon kerb rules get settled before the van is loaded is the mistake that costs a CR0 customer twice.
Anyone who knows Addiscombe knows the pattern near Ashburton Park: tree-lined Edwardian streets and a small parade east of central Croydon. We plan the CR0 visit around it. Addiscombe 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: tram-line crossings, narrow terraced streets and permit bays near the tram stops. Addiscombe (Tramlink) is the nearest station, and two to four operatives depending on room count, scaling to a second team on a full-floor or full-closure clearance where the schedule is set by a redevelopment date.
