The CR0 stock around Ashburton Park is mainly Edwardian. ONS records 42% flats, 58% houses and 11,026 households in Addiscombe.
Private renting sits at 33% and owner-occupation at 54%; the first group books carpet fitting at short notice, the second plans it.
Expect solid London stock brick in CR0, some of it dry-lined during a later refurbishment — measured on the walk in from Addiscombe (Tramlink) rather than assumed from a map behind the plaster in CR0. That is why fixings are picked in the room rather than off a van shelf, and why in CR0, fixings landing in soft lime mortar joints instead of the brick body — which is why London Borough of Croydon 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 Addiscombe: tree-lined Edwardian streets and a small parade east of central Croydon. The quote reflects the street the job is actually on. Addiscombe is outside the Congestion Charge zone but inside ULEZ; our vehicles are compliant, so nothing is added for it.
On access, tram-line crossings, narrow terraced streets and permit bays near the tram stops — one reason one fitter for a room or a straight flight; two for large open-plan floors, winder staircases and anything carried up above the third floor without a lift. Fitters travelling in use Addiscombe (Tramlink).
