In Richmond Hill and Ham (TW10) the split is 35% flats to 65% houses over 2,156 households, and the stock is Georgian and early Victorian.
The owner-occupier-led mix here (58% owned, 15% privately rented) means a TW10 diary swings between short-notice tenancy deadlines and appointments set a fortnight out.
Richmond Hill and Ham substrates run to solid London stock brick; locally that also means some of it dry-lined during a later refurbishment, measured on the walk in from Richmond (District, Overground, South Western) rather than assumed from a map. Nothing is drilled until the wall has been sounded, because fixings landing in soft lime mortar joints instead of the brick body, as the Richmond Hill and Ham stock goes, a median age of 42 in this neighbourhood shapes what gets ordered here is the mistake that costs a TW10 customer twice.
Richmond Hill and Ham is outside the Congestion Charge zone but inside ULEZ; our vehicles are compliant, so nothing is added for it. What shapes the job more is the neighbourhood itself — the protected view from the hill, Ham House and the riverside meadows below — which is why a TW10 quote is not a Richmond upon Thames average.
Extremely steep hill, narrow riverside lanes at Ham and conservation-area limits. Nearest station is Richmond (District, Overground, South Western), 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.
