New Malden KT3 is mainly Edwardian and owner-occupier-led: 30% of homes here are flats and 70% are houses, across 6,674 households (ONS Census 2021).
Because 27% of New Malden is privately rented and 6% socially rented, a lot of KT3 work is agreed with a landlord or managing agent rather than the person opening the door.
Expect solid London stock brick in KT3, some of it dry-lined during a later refurbishment, the pattern behind 6,674 households inside the KT3 neighbourhood behind the plaster in KT3. That is why fixings are picked in the room rather than off a van shelf, and why fixings landing in soft lime mortar joints instead of the brick body, as the New Malden stock goes, where 67% owner-occupation means the same home is booked again rather than a new tenant each year is the fault we are called back to undo.
New Malden is outside the Congestion Charge zone but inside ULEZ; our vehicles are compliant, so nothing is added for it. What shapes the job more is the neighbourhood itself — home to Europe's largest Korean community, with a high street to match — which is why a KT3 quote is not a Kingston upon Thames average.
On access, driveways on most streets; the high street has short loading bays — one reason 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. Fitters travelling in use New Malden (South Western).
