The Balham record headed “Sistova Road” belongs in the carpenter brief where it intersects substrate, preparation and matching of existing fabric. That is a street often referenced for Balham (SW12). Confirm the exact unit — not the street label alone. We confirm fit, availability and written terms before any visit — Hampstead Renovations or Hampstead Maintenance, never a marketplace.
