In Clapham Junction (SW11) the split is 74% flats to 26% houses over 4,196 households, and the stock is mainly Victorian.
Because 42% of Clapham Junction is privately rented and 18% socially rented, a lot of SW11 work is agreed with a landlord or managing agent rather than the person opening the door.
Expect lath and plaster over timber studs in SW11, with solid brick on the party and external walls, with 18% social-rented stock locally, block access is agreed with the estate office first behind the plaster in SW11. 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 Clapham Junction station and Northcote Road is the fault we are called back to undo.
Clapham Junction 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 — britain's busiest interchange, St John's Hill and the streets between the commons — which is why a SW11 quote is not a Wandsworth average.
Very tight CPZ, narrow streets with parked cars both sides and no rear access. Nearest station is Clapham Junction (Overground, Southern, South Western), and a two-person crew and a Luton for flats; three or four crew and two vans for houses with lofts, cellars or garages.
