In Wallington (SM6) the split is 43% flats to 57% houses over 7,054 households, and the stock is mainly Edwardian.
Because 22% of Wallington is privately rented and 12% socially rented, a lot of SM6 work is agreed with a landlord or managing agent rather than the person opening the door.
Walls are cavity brickwork outside — and timber stud partitions inside, where 66% owner-occupation means the same home is booked again rather than a new tenant each year, so the fixing that matters in Wallington is chosen on site — the usual failure here is a four-hole bracket with two screws in a stud and two in fresh air, as the Wallington stock goes, a median age of 39 in this neighbourhood shapes what gets ordered here.
Wallington 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 — edwardian avenues, a compact high street and Beddington Park nearby — which is why a SM6 quote is not a Sutton average.
Wide avenues with driveways; the high street has timed loading bays. Nearest station is Wallington (Southern), and two to four operatives for a single-building clear, scaling to two teams working in parallel where a full primary site has to be finished inside a two-week holiday window.
