12,862 households sit inside the CR7 neighbourhood covering Thornton Heath. The build is mainly Victorian, the tenure profile mixed-tenure, and 38% of those homes are flats.
Because 31% of Thornton Heath is privately rented and 15% socially rented, a lot of CR7 work is agreed with a landlord or managing agent rather than the person opening the door.
Expect solid London stock brick in CR7, 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 behind the plaster in CR7. That is why fixings are picked in the room rather than off a van shelf, and why Thornton Heath gives us fixings landing in soft lime mortar joints instead of the brick body, and with 31% of homes here privately rented, it sets the booking date as often as the job does is the fault we are called back to undo.
A busy high street, the pond junction and Selhurst Park's match-day crowds. That character decides the practical detail of business clearance here far more than the borough boundary does. Thornton Heath is outside the Congestion Charge zone but inside ULEZ; our vehicles are compliant, so nothing is added for it.
On access, match-day parking bans, high-street loading windows and narrow terraced streets — one reason two crew and a Luton on a small office or shop unit; three to four crew with a 7.5-tonne vehicle on retail strip-outs, warehouses and racking removals. Fitters travelling in use Thornton Heath (Southern).
