The KT3 stock around The Korean high street on Burlington Road is mainly Edwardian. ONS records 30% flats, 70% houses and 6,674 households in New Malden.
Owner-occupation runs at 67% in New Malden, so alongside the 27% rental churn there is steady planned work — refurbishments, downsizes and probate clearances booked weeks ahead.
New Malden substrates run to some of it dry-lined during a later refurbishment — and solid London stock brick — the reality on the streets around The Korean high street on Burlington Road. Nothing is drilled until the wall has been sounded, because in KT3, fixings landing in soft lime mortar joints instead of the brick body — which is why Royal Borough of Kingston upon Thames kerb rules get settled before the van is loaded is the mistake that costs a KT3 customer twice.
Two streets can behave very differently in New Malden: home to Europe's largest Korean community, with a high street to match. The quote reflects the street the job is actually on. New Malden is outside the Congestion Charge zone but inside ULEZ; our vehicles are compliant, so nothing is added for it.
Driveways on most streets; the high street has short loading bays. Nearest station is New Malden (South Western), and four crew and a supervisor on a standard floor clearance, scaled up for phased overnight work.
