Census 2021 puts Addiscombe at 11,026 households with a median age of 36.7. The mainly Edwardian stock is mixed-tenure, which is why 58% houses and 42% flats need different handling in CR0.
Private renting sits at 33% and owner-occupation at 54%; the first group books wardrobe assembly at short notice, the second plans it.
Walls are some of it dry-lined during a later refurbishment — and solid London stock brick — measured on the walk in from Addiscombe (Tramlink) rather than assumed from a map, so the fixing that matters in Addiscombe is chosen on site — the usual failure here is fixings landing in soft lime mortar joints instead of the brick body on these streets — and tram-line crossings, narrow terraced streets and permit bays near the tram stops.
Two streets can behave very differently in Addiscombe: tree-lined Edwardian streets and a small parade east of central Croydon. The quote reflects the street the job is actually on. Addiscombe 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: tram-line crossings, narrow terraced streets and permit bays near the tram stops. Addiscombe (Tramlink) is the nearest station, and one fitter for a single wardrobe; two for fitted bay systems, sliding-door units and anything carried up a shared stairwell.
