The TW9 stock around Richmond Park and Richmond Hill is Georgian and early Victorian. ONS records 68% flats, 32% houses and 2,969 households in Richmond.
Owner-occupation runs at 51% in Richmond, so alongside the 43% rental churn there is steady planned work — refurbishments, downsizes and probate clearances booked weeks ahead.
Richmond substrates run to with metal stud partitions between rooms — and dot-and-dab plasterboard over blockwork — which is what a 68% flat share across the ONS neighbourhood covering Richmond actually produces. Nothing is drilled until the wall has been sounded, because in TW9, short screws that grip only the board and slowly lever it off the dabs — and steep richmond hill, conservation-area lanes, riverside flood-zone loading and tight cpz is the mistake that costs a TW9 customer twice.
Two streets can behave very differently in Richmond: the green, the riverside terrace and the park gates at the top of the hill. The quote reflects the street the job is actually on. Richmond 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: steep Richmond Hill, conservation-area lanes, riverside flood-zone loading and tight CPZ. Richmond (District, Overground, South Western) is the nearest station, and one fitter for a pivot or fixed screen; two for sliding and bi-fold enclosures and any wet-room panel over 190cm, which is awkward to hold plumb alone.
