The KT2 stock around Richmond Park's Robin Hood Gate is post-war. ONS records 12% flats, 88% houses and 2,354 households in Kingston Vale and Coombe.
20% of households rent privately and 77% own, which is why garage clearance demand here peaks around tenancy changeovers and completion dates.
Expect some of it dry-lined during a later refurbishment, over solid London stock brick — which is what a 12% flat share across the ONS neighbourhood covering Kingston Vale and Coombe actually produces behind the plaster in KT2. That is why fixings are picked in the room rather than off a van shelf, and why in KT2, 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 fault we are called back to undo.
Two streets can behave very differently in Kingston Vale and Coombe: private estates of large houses on the slope below Richmond Park's Robin Hood Gate. The quote reflects the street the job is actually on. Kingston Vale and Coombe 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: private-estate gates and codes, long gravel drives and narrow park-edge lanes. Norbiton (South Western) is the nearest station, and two operatives with a transit-sized van as standard, upsized to a Luton for a double garage or a lock-up with heavy workshop contents.
