From the Victorian terraces around Norbiton to the riverside flats by Kingston Bridge and the family homes stretching out towards Coombe and Berrylands, our local technicians already know the mix of properties that make up Kingston. One call books the right person for the job.
Canbury, north of the station, was open fields until the railway reached Kingston in 1863. What was built there is a grid of two-storey Victorian houses with small front gardens and their back gardens back to back. South of the centre, the farmland of Grove was sold off in parcels for building from 1865.
Houses of that age have solid brick walls, and a shelf or a television bracket goes onto them differently from the plasterboard of a newer flat. Say which you have when you book and the right fixings come with us.

Most of Norbiton north of the cemetery dates from the turn of the last century. Chatham, Chesham, Cobham and Clevedon Roads are late Victorian detached villas, and Dawson Road is Edwardian, two storeys with ground-floor bays. Between Richmond Road and the riverside park at Canbury Gardens the side roads are late Victorian too, with mansions of that date on Albany Park Road.
North Kingston's Tudor Estate was built by G T Crouch and finished in the mid-1930s. The council's character study notes how many of its houses have been extended since. In Coombe the houses are detached, on large plots, and many of the roads are private.
