Census 2021 puts New Malden at 6,674 households with a median age of 40.3. The mainly Edwardian stock is owner-occupier-led, which is why 70% houses and 30% flats need different handling in KT3.
27% of households rent privately and 67% own, which is why green waste removal demand here peaks around tenancy changeovers and completion dates.
Walls are some of it dry-lined during a later refurbishment — and solid London stock brick — a median age of 40 in this neighbourhood shapes what gets ordered here, so the fixing that matters in New Malden is chosen on site — the usual failure here is fixings landing in soft lime mortar joints instead of the brick body on these streets — measured on the walk in from New Malden (South Western) rather than assumed from a map.
Two streets can behave very differently in New Malden: home to Europe's largest Korean community, with a high street to match. The quote reflects the street the job is actually on. New Malden 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: driveways on most streets; the high street has short loading bays. New Malden (South Western) is the nearest station, and two crew and a Luton on most garden clearances; three crew and a tipper where the load is mainly soil, turf or rubble and weight rather than volume decides the run.
