Walk Tulse Hill from Brockwell Park's southern edge outwards and the mainly Victorian pattern is obvious: 80% of the 3,391 households in SW2 live in flats, 20% in houses.
Private renting sits at 19% and owner-occupation at 25%; the first group books warehouse clearance at short notice, the second plans it.
Tulse Hill substrates run to precast concrete panels and dense blockwork; locally that also means often with surface conduit — which is what a 80% flat share across the ONS neighbourhood covering Tulse Hill actually produces. Nothing is drilled until the wall has been sounded, because in SW2, drilling blind into a panel with reinforcement or a buried cable behind it — and with 30% one-person households in Tulse Hill, one adult is usually the only pair of hands on site is the mistake that costs a SW2 customer twice.
Two streets can behave very differently in Tulse Hill: hillside streets between Brixton and West Norwood with big Victorian houses. The quote reflects the street the job is actually on. Tulse Hill sits inside the Congestion Charge zone as well as ULEZ, so both are itemised on the quote rather than absorbed into an hourly rate.
Getting to the door matters as much as the job: steep gradients, narrow railway bridges and permit bays near the station. Tulse Hill (Thameslink) is the nearest station, and four operatives with a 7.5t tail-lift vehicle on a standard unit, scaling to six with a second vehicle where the handover date is tight.
