Census 2021 puts New Malden at 6,674 households with a median age of 40.3. The mainly Edwardian stock is owner-occupier-led, which is why 70% houses and 30% flats need different handling in KT3.
27% of households rent privately and 67% own, which is why flat and apartment clearance demand here peaks around tenancy changeovers and completion dates.
Expect solid London stock brick; locally that also means some of it dry-lined during a later refurbishment — which is what a 30% flat share across the ONS neighbourhood covering New Malden actually produces behind the plaster in KT3. That is why fixings are picked in the room rather than off a van shelf, and why in KT3, fixings landing in soft lime mortar joints instead of the brick body — measured on the walk in from New Malden (South Western) rather than assumed from a map is the fault we are called back to undo.
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.
Getting to the door matters as much as the job: driveways on most streets; the high street has short loading bays. New Malden (South Western) is the nearest station, and two crew and a Luton for a studio or one-bed; three crew and a second van on two- and three-bedroom apartments or any duplex.
