Walk Sands End from Imperial Wharf and Chelsea Harbour outwards and the mainly Victorian pattern is obvious: 89% of the 4,346 households in SW6 live in flats, 11% in houses.
Private renting sits at 36% and owner-occupation at 37%; the first group books shed clearance and removal at short notice, the second plans it.
Expect dot-and-dab plasterboard over blockwork in Sands End, with metal stud partitions between rooms — where 37% owner-occupation means the same home is booked again rather than a new tenant each year behind the plaster in SW6. That is why fixings are picked in the room rather than off a van shelf, and why in SW6, short screws that grip only the board and slowly lever it off the dabs — the pattern behind 4,346 households inside the SW6 neighbourhood is the fault we are called back to undo.
Two streets can behave very differently in Sands End: riverside Fulham — old gasworks land rebuilt as apartment quarters beside Victorian terraces. The quote reflects the street the job is actually on. Sands End is outside the Congestion Charge zone but inside ULEZ; our vehicles are compliant, so nothing is added for it.
On access, concierge sign-in, booked goods lifts and estate loading bays on the riverside blocks — one reason two crew and a Luton on a standard timber shed; three crew where the shed is a workshop size, the base is concrete or the only route out is through the house.
