Walk Thornton Heath from Selhurst Park outwards and the mainly Victorian pattern is obvious: 38% of the 12,862 households in CR7 live in flats, 62% in houses.
31% of households rent privately and 54% own, which is why european removals demand here peaks around tenancy changeovers and completion dates.
Thornton Heath substrates run to solid London stock brick in CR7, some of it dry-lined during a later refurbishment — where 54% owner-occupation means the same home is booked again rather than a new tenant each year. Nothing is drilled until the wall has been sounded, because in CR7, fixings landing in soft lime mortar joints instead of the brick body — with 15% social-rented stock locally, block access is agreed with the estate office first is the mistake that costs a CR7 customer twice.
Two streets can behave very differently in Thornton Heath: a busy high street, the pond junction and Selhurst Park's match-day crowds. The quote reflects the street the job is actually on. Thornton Heath 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: match-day parking bans, high-street loading windows and narrow terraced streets. Thornton Heath (Southern) is the nearest station, and two crew travel with the load for a dedicated van; part loads are consolidated at our depot and delivered by the driver running that route.
