9,539 households sit inside the SW15 neighbourhood covering Roehampton. The build is inter-war, the tenure profile social-housing-led, and 75% of those homes are flats.
The social-housing-led mix here (35% owned, 25% privately rented) means a SW15 diary swings between short-notice tenancy deadlines and appointments set a fortnight out.
Expect precast concrete panels and dense blockwork; locally that also means often with surface conduit, where 35% owner-occupation means the same home is booked again rather than a new tenant each year behind the plaster in SW15. That is why fixings are picked in the room rather than off a van shelf, and why Roehampton gives us drilling blind into a panel with reinforcement or a buried cable behind it, the reality on the streets around The Alton Estate and Richmond Park is the fault we are called back to undo.
Roehampton 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 — the Alton Estate's modernist slabs beside Richmond Park's Roehampton Gate — which is why a SW15 quote is not a Wandsworth average.
On access, slab blocks with limited lifts, long walkway carries and steep estate approaches — 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.
