Walk Putney from Putney Bridge and the Boat Race start outwards and the mainly Victorian pattern is obvious: 72% of the 20,613 households in SW15 live in flats, 28% in houses.
Private renting sits at 38% and owner-occupation at 47%; the first group books shed clearance and removal at short notice, the second plans it.
Expect dot-and-dab plasterboard over blockwork; locally that also means with metal stud partitions between rooms — which is what a 72% flat share across the ONS neighbourhood covering Putney actually produces behind the plaster in SW15. That is why fixings are picked in the room rather than off a van shelf, and why in SW15, short screws that grip only the board and slowly lever it off the dabs — the pattern behind 20,613 households inside the SW15 neighbourhood is the fault we are called back to undo.
Two streets can behave very differently in Putney: the Boat Race start, the embankment rowing clubs and the high street shops. The quote reflects the street the job is actually on. Putney 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: boat Race day closures, Putney High Street bus gate and mansion blocks with small lifts. Putney (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.
