Walk Putney from Putney Bridge and the Boat Race start outwards and the mainly Victorian pattern is obvious: 72% of the 20,613 households in SW15 live in flats, 28% in houses.
Private renting sits at 38% and owner-occupation at 47%; the first group books TV mounting at short notice, the second plans it.
Putney substrates run to dot-and-dab plasterboard over blockwork; locally that also means with metal stud partitions between rooms — the reality on the streets around Putney Bridge and the Boat Race start. Nothing is drilled until the wall has been sounded, because in SW15, short screws that grip only the board and slowly lever it off the dabs — measured on the walk in from Putney (South Western) rather than assumed from a map is the mistake that costs a SW15 customer twice.
Two streets can behave very differently in Putney: the Boat Race start, the embankment rowing clubs and the high street shops. The quote reflects the street the job is actually on. Putney is outside the Congestion Charge zone but inside ULEZ; our vehicles are compliant, so nothing is added for it.
Getting to the door matters as much as the job: boat Race day closures, Putney High Street bus gate and mansion blocks with small lifts. Putney (South Western) is the nearest station, and one fitter up to 43 inches, two for anything larger or where the screen has to go up a stairwell.
