In Teddington (TW11) the split is 46% flats to 54% houses over 10,821 households, and the stock is mainly Victorian.
The owner-occupier-led mix here (65% owned, 25% privately rented) means a TW11 diary swings between short-notice tenancy deadlines and appointments set a fortnight out.
Expect with solid brick on the party and external walls, over lath and plaster over timber studs, and narrow high street with timed loading; residential roads mostly have driveways behind the plaster in TW11. That is why fixings are picked in the room rather than off a van shelf, and why which crumbles the key and drops the panel — and a plasterboard plug spun into lime plaster, the reality on the streets around Teddington Lock and Bushy Park is the fault we are called back to undo.
Teddington is outside the Congestion Charge zone but inside ULEZ; our vehicles are compliant, so nothing is added for it. What shapes the job more is the neighbourhood itself — the lock, a village high street and Bushy Park on the doorstep — which is why a TW11 quote is not a Richmond upon Thames average.
On access, narrow high street with timed loading; residential roads mostly have driveways — one reason a two-person crew and a Luton for flats; three or four crew and two vans for houses with lofts, cellars or garages. Fitters travelling in use Teddington (South Western).
