Walk Richmond from Richmond Park and Richmond Hill outwards and the Georgian and early Victorian pattern is obvious: 68% of the 2,969 households in TW9 live in flats, 32% in houses.
43% of households rent privately and 51% own, which is why business clearance demand here peaks around tenancy changeovers and completion dates.
Richmond substrates run to dot-and-dab plasterboard over blockwork in TW9, with metal stud partitions between rooms — the reality on the streets around Richmond Park and Richmond Hill. Nothing is drilled until the wall has been sounded, because short screws that grip only the board and slowly lever it off the dabs on these streets — measured on the walk in from Richmond (District, Overground, South Western) rather than assumed from a map is the mistake that costs a TW9 customer twice.
Anyone who knows Richmond knows the pattern near Richmond Park and Richmond Hill: the green, the riverside terrace and the park gates at the top of the hill. We plan the TW9 visit around it. Richmond is outside the Congestion Charge zone but inside ULEZ; our vehicles are compliant, so nothing is added for it.
Steep Richmond Hill, conservation-area lanes, riverside flood-zone loading and tight CPZ. Nearest station is Richmond (District, Overground, South Western), and 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.
