Walk Tooting from Tooting Market and Tooting Bec Lido outwards and the mainly Victorian pattern is obvious: 60% of the 22,241 households in SW17 live in flats, 40% in houses.
Private renting sits at 40% and owner-occupation at 43%; the first group books wardrobe assembly at short notice, the second plans it.
Expect lath and plaster over timber studs in Tooting, with solid brick on the party and external walls — measured on the walk in from Tooting Broadway (Northern) rather than assumed from a map behind the plaster in SW17. That is why fixings are picked in the room rather than off a van shelf, and why which crumbles the key and drops the panel — and a plasterboard plug spun into lime plaster — and with 28% one-person households in Tooting, one adult is usually the only pair of hands on site is the fault we are called back to undo.
Two streets can behave very differently in Tooting: two covered markets, St George's Hospital and one of London's best food streets. The quote reflects the street the job is actually on. Tooting is outside the Congestion Charge zone but inside ULEZ; our vehicles are compliant, so nothing is added for it.
On access, broadway red route, market loading windows and permit-only terraced streets — one reason one fitter for a single wardrobe; two for fitted bay systems, sliding-door units and anything carried up a shared stairwell. Fitters travelling in use Tooting Broadway (Northern).
