The service, locally
After builders cleaning in St John's Wood NW8
In a compact NW8 flat the works are concentrated on one or two walls and the dust is everywhere else in this 90% flats neighbourhood, with Westminster parking rules in play.
St John's Wood refits are usually one or two rooms inside an occupied purpose-built block on NW8 jobs — and 90% of homes here being flats, with 6,641 households on this patch, so the constraint is containment rather than volume: keeping dust off the communal corridor, protecting the lift, getting waste out within the building's permitted hours and finishing the same day so the flat is liveable that night.
Typical works here: single-room refits in purpose-built flats. Access and parking: Driveways in the villa streets; gated developments need advance access codes and lift booking.
