Census 2021 puts South Croydon at 3,637 households with a median age of 37.2. The mainly Victorian stock is owner-occupier-led, which is why 53% houses and 47% flats need different handling in CR2.
30% of households rent privately and 60% own, which is why TV mounting demand here peaks around tenancy changeovers and completion dates.
Walls are lath and plaster over timber studs in CR2, with solid brick on the party and external walls — and with 30% of homes here privately rented, it sets the booking date as often as the job does, so the fixing that matters in South Croydon is chosen on site — the usual failure here is a plasterboard plug spun into lime plaster in South Croydon, which crumbles the key and drops the panel — and steep hills, narrow victorian frontages and driveways further out.
Two streets can behave very differently in South Croydon: victorian and Edwardian streets on the hill above the town, with Selsdon beyond. The quote reflects the street the job is actually on. South Croydon is outside the Congestion Charge zone but inside ULEZ; our vehicles are compliant, so nothing is added for it.
On access, steep hills, narrow Victorian frontages and driveways further out — one reason one fitter up to 43 inches, two for anything larger or where the screen has to go up a stairwell. Fitters travelling in use South Croydon (Southern).
