Teddington TW11 is mainly Victorian and owner-occupier-led: 46% of homes here are flats and 54% are houses, across 10,821 households (ONS Census 2021).
Because 25% of Teddington is privately rented and 11% socially rented, a lot of TW11 work is agreed with a landlord or managing agent rather than the person opening the door.
Teddington substrates run to lath and plaster over timber studs; locally that also means with solid brick on the party and external walls, measured on the walk in from Teddington (South Western) rather than assumed from a map. Nothing is drilled until the wall has been sounded, because a plasterboard plug spun into lime plaster; locally that also means which crumbles the key and drops the panel, and with 25% of homes here privately rented, it sets the booking date as often as the job does is the mistake that costs a TW11 customer twice.
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 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. Fitters travelling in use Teddington (South Western).
