In Richmond (TW9) the split is 68% flats to 32% houses over 2,969 households, and the stock is Georgian and early Victorian.
The renter-heavy mix here (51% owned, 43% privately rented) means a TW9 diary swings between short-notice tenancy deadlines and appointments set a fortnight out.
Walls are dot-and-dab plasterboard over blockwork in TW9, with metal stud partitions between rooms, which is why London Borough of Richmond upon Thames kerb rules get settled before the van is loaded, so the fixing that matters in Richmond is chosen on site — the usual failure here is Richmond gives us short screws that grip only the board and slowly lever it off the dabs, the reality on the streets around Richmond Park and Richmond Hill.
Richmond 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 green, the riverside terrace and the park gates at the top of the hill — which is why a TW9 quote is not a Richmond upon Thames average.
Steep Richmond Hill, conservation-area lanes, riverside flood-zone loading and tight CPZ. Nearest station is Richmond (District, Overground, South Western), 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.
