Walk Dartmouth Park from Highgate Cemetery and Parliament Hill Fields outwards and the mainly Victorian pattern is obvious: 72% of the 3,395 households in NW5 live in flats, 28% in houses.
18% of households rent privately and 45% own, which is why commercial cleaning demand here peaks around tenancy changeovers and completion dates.
Walls are precast concrete panels and dense blockwork; locally that also means often with surface conduit — and with 35% one-person households in Dartmouth Park, one adult is usually the only pair of hands on site, so the fixing that matters in Dartmouth Park is chosen on site — the usual failure here is in NW5, drilling blind into a panel with reinforcement or a buried cable behind it — with 36% social-rented stock locally, block access is agreed with the estate office first.
Two streets can behave very differently in Dartmouth Park: steep Victorian streets between Highgate Cemetery and the eastern edge of Hampstead Heath. The quote reflects the street the job is actually on. Dartmouth Park sits inside the Congestion Charge zone as well as ULEZ, so both are itemised on the quote rather than absorbed into an hourly rate.
Steep gradients, resident permit bays and long communal stair runs in the conversions. Nearest station is Tufnell Park (Northern), and one to four operatives depending on floor area, with a named supervisor and a mobile cover team for sickness.
