Census 2021 puts Twickenham at 13,661 households with a median age of 40.3. The Georgian and early Victorian stock is owner-occupier-led, which is why 61% houses and 39% flats need different handling in TW1.
Private renting sits at 27% and owner-occupation at 65%; the first group books rubbish removal at short notice, the second plans it.
Walls are solid London stock brick; locally that also means some of it dry-lined during a later refurbishment — which is what a 39% flat share across the ONS neighbourhood covering Twickenham actually produces, so the fixing that matters in Twickenham is chosen on site — the usual failure here is in TW1, fixings landing in soft lime mortar joints instead of the brick body — and with 29% one-person households in Twickenham, one adult is usually the only pair of hands on site.
Two streets can behave very differently in Twickenham: rugby's home ground, riverside Georgian villas and Eel Pie Island. The quote reflects the street the job is actually on. Twickenham is outside the Congestion Charge zone but inside ULEZ; our vehicles are compliant, so nothing is added for it.
On access, match-day road closures and parking bans, riverside flood limits and narrow island access — 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 Twickenham (South Western).
