Walk Wallington from Beddington Park and Carew Manor outwards and the mainly Edwardian pattern is obvious: 43% of the 7,054 households in SM6 live in flats, 57% in houses.
Private renting sits at 22% and owner-occupation at 66%; the first group books blinds and curtain fitting at short notice, the second plans it.
Walls are timber stud partitions inside in SM6, cavity brickwork outside — which is what a 43% flat share across the ONS neighbourhood covering Wallington actually produces, so the fixing that matters in Wallington is chosen on site — the usual failure here is in SM6, a four-hole bracket with two screws in a stud and two in fresh air — and wide avenues with driveways; the high street has timed loading bays.
Two streets can behave very differently in Wallington: edwardian avenues, a compact high street and Beddington Park nearby. The quote reflects the street the job is actually on. Wallington is outside the Congestion Charge zone but inside ULEZ; our vehicles are compliant, so nothing is added for it.
Wide avenues with driveways; the high street has timed loading bays. Nearest station is Wallington (Southern), and one fitter for standard windows; two for bent bay tracks or full-height stairwell blinds.
