Walk Chessington from Chessington World of Adventures outwards and the inter-war pattern is obvious: 20% of the 5,734 households in KT9 live in flats, 80% in houses.
14% of households rent privately and 73% own, which is why rubbish removal demand here peaks around tenancy changeovers and completion dates.
Expect some of it dry-lined during a later refurbishment, over solid London stock brick — where 73% owner-occupation means the same home is booked again rather than a new tenant each year behind the plaster in KT9. That is why fixings are picked in the room rather than off a van shelf, and why in KT9, fixings landing in soft lime mortar joints instead of the brick body — measured on the walk in from Chessington North (South Western) rather than assumed from a map is the fault we are called back to undo.
Two streets can behave very differently in Chessington: post-war suburbia at the edge of the green belt, best known for the theme park. The quote reflects the street the job is actually on. Chessington is outside the Congestion Charge zone but inside ULEZ; our vehicles are compliant, so nothing is added for it.
On access, wide roads, driveways and easy turning throughout — one reason one person and a car for boot-loads; two crew and a 3.5-tonne Luton for anything from a quarter-load upward. Fitters travelling in use Chessington North (South Western).
