The CR4 stock around Mitcham Common and the Cricket Green is mainly Victorian. ONS records 46% flats, 54% houses and 10,087 households in Mitcham.
Private renting sits at 28% and owner-occupation at 47%; the first group books flat and apartment clearance at short notice, the second plans it.
Mitcham substrates run to lath and plaster over timber studs in CR4, with solid brick on the party and external walls — which is what a 46% flat share across the ONS neighbourhood covering Mitcham actually produces. Nothing is drilled until the wall has been sounded, because a plasterboard plug spun into lime plaster; locally that also means which crumbles the key and drops the panel — with 25% social-rented stock locally, block access is agreed with the estate office first is the mistake that costs a CR4 customer twice.
Two streets can behave very differently in Mitcham: one of the largest commons in London, a cricket green and Wandle-valley industry. The quote reflects the street the job is actually on. Mitcham 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: tram-line crossings, wide suburban roads and driveways on most streets. Mitcham (Tramlink) 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.
