The TW10 stock around Ham House and the Richmond Hill view is Georgian and early Victorian. ONS records 35% flats, 65% houses and 2,156 households in Richmond Hill and Ham.
15% of households rent privately and 58% own, which is why carpet fitting demand here peaks around tenancy changeovers and completion dates.
Richmond Hill and Ham substrates run to some of it dry-lined during a later refurbishment, over solid London stock brick — which is what a 35% flat share across the ONS neighbourhood covering Richmond Hill and Ham actually produces. Nothing is drilled until the wall has been sounded, because in TW10, fixings landing in soft lime mortar joints instead of the brick body — with 26% social-rented stock locally, block access is agreed with the estate office first is the mistake that costs a TW10 customer twice.
Two streets can behave very differently in Richmond Hill and Ham: the protected view from the hill, Ham House and the riverside meadows below. The quote reflects the street the job is actually on. Richmond Hill and Ham is outside the Congestion Charge zone but inside ULEZ; our vehicles are compliant, so nothing is added for it.
On access, extremely steep hill, narrow riverside lanes at Ham and conservation-area limits — 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 Richmond (District, Overground, South Western).
