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.
Private renting sits at 20% and owner-occupation at 77%; the first group books blinds and curtain fitting at short notice, the second plans it.
Expect solid London stock brick; locally that also means some of it dry-lined during a later refurbishment — and with 20% of homes here privately rented, it sets the booking date as often as the job does behind the plaster in KT2. That is why fixings are picked in the room rather than off a van shelf, and why in KT2, fixings landing in soft lime mortar joints instead of the brick body — which is why Royal Borough of Kingston upon Thames kerb rules get settled before the van is loaded is the fault we are called back to undo.
Two streets can behave very differently in Kingston Vale and Coombe: private estates of large houses on the slope below Richmond Park's Robin Hood Gate. The quote reflects the street the job is actually on. Kingston Vale and Coombe is outside the Congestion Charge zone but inside ULEZ; our vehicles are compliant, so nothing is added for it.
Private-estate gates and codes, long gravel drives and narrow park-edge lanes. Nearest station is Norbiton (South Western), and one fitter for standard windows; two for bent bay tracks or full-height stairwell blinds.
