The TW11 stock around Teddington Lock and Bushy Park is mainly Victorian. ONS records 46% flats, 54% houses and 10,821 households in Teddington.
Owner-occupation runs at 65% in Teddington, so alongside the 25% rental churn there is steady planned work — refurbishments, downsizes and probate clearances booked weeks ahead.
Walls are lath and plaster over timber studs in Teddington, with solid brick on the party and external walls — and with 25% of homes here privately rented, it sets the booking date as often as the job does, so the fixing that matters in Teddington is chosen on site — the usual failure here is which crumbles the key and drops the panel, over a plasterboard plug spun into lime plaster — measured on the walk in from Teddington (South Western) rather than assumed from a map.
Two streets can behave very differently in Teddington: the lock, a village high street and Bushy Park on the doorstep. The quote reflects the street the job is actually on. Teddington 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: narrow high street with timed loading; residential roads mostly have driveways. Teddington (South Western) is the nearest station, and one person and a car for boot-loads; two crew and a 3.5-tonne Luton for anything from a quarter-load upward.
