Clapham has a very high proportion of professional house shares — large Victorian houses let room by room — and that shapes the work. Bed bugs move with tenants at changeover, and shared kitchens with several occupants generate the conditions for cockroaches and mice. The Old Town and High Street add the restaurant side.
