The SW15 stock around The Alton Estate and Richmond Park is inter-war. ONS records 75% flats, 25% houses and 9,539 households in Roehampton.
25% of households rent privately and 35% own, which is why moving van hire demand here peaks around tenancy changeovers and completion dates.
Expect often with surface conduit — and precast concrete panels and dense blockwork — where 35% owner-occupation means the same home is booked again rather than a new tenant each year behind the plaster in SW15. That is why fixings are picked in the room rather than off a van shelf, and why in SW15, drilling blind into a panel with reinforcement or a buried cable behind it — measured on the walk in from Barnes (South Western) rather than assumed from a map is the fault we are called back to undo.
Two streets can behave very differently in Roehampton: the Alton Estate's modernist slabs beside Richmond Park's Roehampton Gate. The quote reflects the street the job is actually on. Roehampton is outside the Congestion Charge zone but inside ULEZ; our vehicles are compliant, so nothing is added for it.
Slab blocks with limited lifts, long walkway carries and steep estate approaches. Nearest station is Barnes (South Western), and one driver as standard on all three van sizes, with a second loader added by the hour where stairs, a lift booking or heavy furniture make a solo load impractical.
