Walk Mitcham from Mitcham Common and the Cricket Green outwards and the mainly Victorian pattern is obvious: 46% of the 10,087 households in CR4 live in flats, 54% in houses.
28% of households rent privately and 47% own, which is why retail and shop clearance demand here peaks around tenancy changeovers and completion dates.
Mitcham substrates run to lath and plaster over timber studs; locally that also means with solid brick on the party and external walls — where 47% owner-occupation means the same home is booked again rather than a new tenant each year. Nothing is drilled until the wall has been sounded, because which crumbles the key and drops the panel — and a plasterboard plug spun into lime plaster — the pattern behind 10,087 households inside the CR4 neighbourhood is the mistake that costs a CR4 customer twice.
Two streets can behave very differently in Mitcham: one of the largest commons in London, a cricket green and Wandle-valley industry. The quote reflects the street the job is actually on. Mitcham is outside the Congestion Charge zone but inside ULEZ; our vehicles are compliant, so nothing is added for it.
Tram-line crossings, wide suburban roads and driveways on most streets. Nearest station is Mitcham (Tramlink), and two to three operatives for a small or mid-size unit, with access equipment booked separately for fascia and signage above ground floor level.
