6,674 households sit inside the KT3 neighbourhood covering New Malden. The build is mainly Edwardian, the tenure profile owner-occupier-led, and 30% of those homes are flats.
Because 27% of New Malden is privately rented and 6% socially rented, a lot of KT3 work is agreed with a landlord or managing agent rather than the person opening the door.
Walls are some of it dry-lined during a later refurbishment — and solid London stock brick, which is why Royal Borough of Kingston upon Thames kerb rules get settled before the van is loaded, so the fixing that matters in New Malden is chosen on site — the usual failure here is New Malden gives us fixings landing in soft lime mortar joints instead of the brick body, where 67% owner-occupation means the same home is booked again rather than a new tenant each year.
Home to Europe's largest Korean community, with a high street to match. That character decides the practical detail of shed clearance and removal here far more than the borough boundary does. New Malden is outside the Congestion Charge zone but inside ULEZ; our vehicles are compliant, so nothing is added for it.
On access, driveways on most streets; the high street has short loading bays — 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.
