Walk Hainault from Hainault Forest Country Park outwards and the post-war pattern is obvious: 25% of the 5,741 households in IG6 live in flats, 75% in houses.
Private renting sits at 17% and owner-occupation at 58%; the first group books driveway cleaning at short notice, the second plans it.
Walls are solid London stock brick in Hainault, some of it dry-lined during a later refurbishment — and with 17% of homes here privately rented, it sets the booking date as often as the job does, so the fixing that matters in Hainault is chosen on site — the usual failure here is fixings landing in soft lime mortar joints instead of the brick body on these streets — measured on the walk in from Hainault (Central) rather than assumed from a map.
Two streets can behave very differently in Hainault: post-war LCC estate housing beside Hainault Forest Country Park. The quote reflects the street the job is actually on. Hainault is outside the Congestion Charge zone but inside ULEZ; our vehicles are compliant, so nothing is added for it.
Wide estate roads with easy parking and level access to most homes. Nearest station is Hainault (Central), and one technician and a van-mounted hot-water pressure washer for most driveways; two on larger block-paving jobs where re-sanding is included, since brushing sand in is a second task run alongside the wash.
