Walk Wimbledon from The All England Lawn Tennis Club outwards and the mainly Victorian pattern is obvious: 47% of the 23,023 households in SW19 live in flats, 53% in houses.
34% of households rent privately and 57% own, which is why wood flooring demand here peaks around tenancy changeovers and completion dates.
Walls are lath and plaster over timber studs in Wimbledon, with solid brick on the party and external walls — the reality on the streets around The All England Lawn Tennis Club, so the fixing that matters in Wimbledon is chosen on site — the usual failure here is a plasterboard plug spun into lime plaster; locally that also means which crumbles the key and drops the panel — and with 27% one-person households in Wimbledon, one adult is usually the only pair of hands on site.
Two streets can behave very differently in Wimbledon: the town centre and theatre below, the Village and common above. The quote reflects the street the job is actually on. Wimbledon 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: championship-fortnight restrictions, steep Wimbledon Hill Road and Village conservation limits. Wimbledon (District, Southern, South Western, Tramlink) is the nearest station, and one fitter for a floating fit in a single room; two for glued or secret-nailed floors and any job over 25m² in a day.
