Walk Clapham Junction from Clapham Junction station and Northcote Road outwards and the mainly Victorian pattern is obvious: 74% of the 4,196 households in SW11 live in flats, 26% in houses.
Private renting sits at 42% and owner-occupation at 39%; the first group books rubbish removal at short notice, the second plans it.
Clapham Junction substrates run to with solid brick on the party and external walls, over lath and plaster over timber studs — the reality on the streets around Clapham Junction station and Northcote Road. Nothing is drilled until the wall has been sounded, because a plasterboard plug spun into lime plaster in Clapham Junction, which crumbles the key and drops the panel — with 18% social-rented stock locally, block access is agreed with the estate office first is the mistake that costs a SW11 customer twice.
Two streets can behave very differently in Clapham Junction: britain's busiest interchange, St John's Hill and the streets between the commons. The quote reflects the street the job is actually on. Clapham Junction is outside the Congestion Charge zone but inside ULEZ; our vehicles are compliant, so nothing is added for it.
Very tight CPZ, narrow streets with parked cars both sides and no rear access. Nearest station is Clapham Junction (Overground, Southern, South Western), and one person and a car for boot-loads; two crew and a 3.5-tonne Luton for anything from a quarter-load upward.
