In Belmont and Banstead edge (SM2) the split is 21% flats to 79% houses over 3,212 households, and the stock is inter-war.
With 15% private renting against 82% owner-occupied, most SM2 bookings land on a move-in day rather than a weekend.
Belmont and Banstead edge substrates run to timber stud partitions inside; locally that also means cavity brickwork outside, which is why London Borough of Sutton kerb rules get settled before the van is loaded. Nothing is drilled until the wall has been sounded, because Belmont and Banstead edge gives us a four-hole bracket with two screws in a stud and two in fresh air, which is what a 21% flat share across the ONS neighbourhood covering Belmont and Banstead edge actually produces is the mistake that costs a SM2 customer twice.
Belmont and Banstead edge 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 — hillside streets around the old hospital site, with the downs beyond — which is why a SM2 quote is not a Sutton average.
Getting to the door matters as much as the job: steep hill roads, driveways and new estate roads with easy access. Belmont (Southern) 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.
