Census 2021 puts Colliers Wood at 4,286 households with a median age of 34. The mainly Victorian stock is renter-heavy, which is why 33% houses and 67% flats need different handling in SW19.
Private renting sits at 44% and owner-occupation at 47%; the first group books european removals at short notice, the second plans it.
Walls are with solid brick on the party and external walls — and lath and plaster over timber studs — which is what a 67% flat share across the ONS neighbourhood covering Colliers Wood actually produces, so the fixing that matters in Colliers Wood is chosen on site — the usual failure here is a plasterboard plug spun into lime plaster in SW19, which crumbles the key and drops the panel — which is why London Borough of Merton kerb rules get settled before the van is loaded.

Colliers Wood is outside the Congestion Charge zone but inside ULEZ; our vehicles are compliant, so nothing is added for it.
On access, high Street red route, riverside estate roads and new blocks with booked lifts — 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 Colliers Wood (Northern).
