The KT2 stock around Richmond Park's Robin Hood Gate is post-war. ONS records 12% flats, 88% houses and 2,354 households in Kingston Vale and Coombe.
Owner-occupation runs at 77% in Kingston Vale and Coombe, so alongside the 20% rental churn there is steady planned work — refurbishments, downsizes and probate clearances booked weeks ahead.
Walls are some of it dry-lined during a later refurbishment — and solid London stock brick — which is what a 12% flat share across the ONS neighbourhood covering Kingston Vale and Coombe actually produces, so the fixing that matters in Kingston Vale and Coombe is chosen on site — the usual failure here is fixings landing in soft lime mortar joints instead of the brick body on these streets — the pattern behind 2,354 households inside the KT2 neighbourhood.
Anyone who knows Kingston Vale and Coombe knows the pattern near Richmond Park's Robin Hood Gate: private estates of large houses on the slope below Richmond Park's Robin Hood Gate. We plan the KT2 visit around it. Kingston Vale and Coombe 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: private-estate gates and codes, long gravel drives and narrow park-edge lanes. Norbiton (South Western) is the nearest station, and 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.
