The SW16 stock around Streatham Common and the Rookery is mainly Edwardian. ONS records 66% flats, 34% houses and 26,325 households in Streatham.
Private renting sits at 35% and owner-occupation at 44%; the first group books outdoor furniture assembly at short notice, the second plans it.
Streatham substrates run to lath and plaster over timber studs in SW16, with solid brick on the party and external walls — where 44% owner-occupation means the same home is booked again rather than a new tenant each year. Nothing is drilled until the wall has been sounded, because which crumbles the key and drops the panel, over a plasterboard plug spun into lime plaster — measured on the walk in from Streatham (Thameslink, Southern) rather than assumed from a map is the mistake that costs a SW16 customer twice.
Two streets can behave very differently in Streatham: a two-mile high road, the common and the ice rink, with Edwardian streets either side. The quote reflects the street the job is actually on. Streatham sits inside the Congestion Charge zone as well as ULEZ, so both are itemised on the quote rather than absorbed into an hourly rate.
A23 red route, side streets with permit bays and mansion blocks with small lifts. Nearest station is Streatham (Thameslink, Southern), and one fitter for bistro sets, parasols and BBQs; two for corner sofa sets, large dining sets and shed bases.
