Walk Putney from Putney Bridge and the Boat Race start outwards and the mainly Victorian pattern is obvious: 72% of the 20,613 households in SW15 live in flats, 28% in houses.
Private renting sits at 38% and owner-occupation at 47%; the first group books hoarder clearance at short notice, the second plans it.
Walls are with metal stud partitions between rooms, over dot-and-dab plasterboard over blockwork — and with 31% one-person households in Putney, one adult is usually the only pair of hands on site, so the fixing that matters in Putney is chosen on site — the usual failure here is in SW15, short screws that grip only the board and slowly lever it off the dabs — a median age of 34 in this neighbourhood shapes what gets ordered here.
Two streets can behave very differently in Putney: the Boat Race start, the embankment rowing clubs and the high street shops. The quote reflects the street the job is actually on. Putney 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: boat Race day closures, Putney High Street bus gate and mansion blocks with small lifts. Putney (South Western) is the nearest station, and two to four operatives depending on severity, with PPE for biohazard handling and a plain, unmarked vehicle available on request.
