Expect solid London stock brick; locally that also means some of it dry-lined during a later refurbishment — measured on the walk in from Carshalton (Southern) rather than assumed from a map behind the plaster in SM5. That is why fixings are picked in the room rather than off a van shelf, and why fixings landing in soft lime mortar joints instead of the brick body on these streets — the reality on the streets around Carshalton Ponds and Honeywood Museum is the fault we are called back to undo.
Two streets can behave very differently in Carshalton: spring-fed ponds, a village high street and the Wandle's source. The quote reflects the street the job is actually on. Carshalton is outside the Congestion Charge zone but inside ULEZ; our vehicles are compliant, so nothing is added for it.
On access, narrow lanes around the ponds with a conservation area; driveways elsewhere — one reason one fitter for bistro sets, parasols and BBQs; two for corner sofa sets, large dining sets and shed bases. Fitters travelling in use Carshalton (Southern).
