Census 2021 puts Earlsfield at 7,243 households with a median age of 33.2. The mainly Victorian stock is mixed-tenure, which is why 39% houses and 61% flats need different handling in SW18.
32% of households rent privately and 51% own, which is why office clearance demand here peaks around tenancy changeovers and completion dates.
Walls are with metal stud partitions between rooms, over dot-and-dab plasterboard over blockwork — measured on the walk in from Earlsfield (South Western) rather than assumed from a map, so the fixing that matters in Earlsfield is chosen on site — the usual failure here is short screws that grip only the board and slowly lever it off the dabs on these streets — and with 26% one-person households in Earlsfield, one adult is usually the only pair of hands on site.
Two streets can behave very differently in Earlsfield: garratt Lane's independents and quiet grids of Victorian terraces. The quote reflects the street the job is actually on. Earlsfield is outside the Congestion Charge zone but inside ULEZ; our vehicles are compliant, so nothing is added for it.
On access, narrow terraced streets, permit bays and railway-bridge height limits — one reason four crew and a supervisor on a standard floor clearance, scaled up for phased overnight work. Fitters travelling in use Earlsfield (South Western).
