Walk Highgate from Highgate Cemetery outwards and the Georgian and early Victorian pattern is obvious: 65% of the 5,593 households in N6 live in flats, 35% in houses.
37% of households rent privately and 51% own, which is why commercial cleaning demand here peaks around tenancy changeovers and completion dates.
Expect lath and plaster over timber studs in Highgate, with solid brick on the party and external walls — the reality on the streets around Highgate Cemetery behind the plaster in N6. That is why fixings are picked in the room rather than off a van shelf, and why which crumbles the key and drops the panel — and a plasterboard plug spun into lime plaster — the pattern behind 5,593 households inside the N6 neighbourhood is the fault we are called back to undo.
Two streets can behave very differently in Highgate: hilltop village of Georgian houses, the cemetery and Waterlow Park. The quote reflects the street the job is actually on. Highgate is outside the Congestion Charge zone but inside ULEZ; our vehicles are compliant, so nothing is added for it.
On access, steep, narrow lanes where a Luton is the practical limit, plus listed-building constraints — one reason one to four operatives depending on floor area, with a named supervisor and a mobile cover team for sickness. Fitters travelling in use Highgate (Northern).
