Walk Richmond Hill and Ham from Ham House and the Richmond Hill view outwards and the Georgian and early Victorian pattern is obvious: 35% of the 2,156 households in TW10 live in flats, 65% in houses.
Private renting sits at 15% and owner-occupation at 58%; the first group books flat-pack assembly at short notice, the second plans it.
Richmond Hill and Ham substrates run to solid London stock brick; locally that also means some of it dry-lined during a later refurbishment — the reality on the streets around Ham House and the Richmond Hill view. Nothing is drilled until the wall has been sounded, because fixings landing in soft lime mortar joints instead of the brick body on these streets — the pattern behind 2,156 households inside the TW10 neighbourhood 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.
Extremely steep hill, narrow riverside lanes at Ham and conservation-area limits. Nearest station is Richmond (District, Overground, South Western), and one fitter for most items; two for sliding-door wardrobes, bunk beds and anything that has to be carried up a shared stairwell.
