4,005 households sit inside the N11 neighbourhood covering Friern Barnet and New Southgate. The build is mainly Victorian, the tenure profile owner-occupier-led, and 47% of those homes are flats.
With 30% private renting against 60% owner-occupied, most N11 bookings land on a move-in day rather than a weekend.
Expect with solid brick on the party and external walls — and lath and plaster over timber studs, measured on the walk in from New Southgate (Great Northern) rather than assumed from a map behind the plaster in N11. 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 reality on the streets around Princess Park Manor is the fault we are called back to undo.
Friern Barnet and New Southgate is outside the Congestion Charge zone but inside ULEZ; our vehicles are compliant, so nothing is added for it. What shapes the job more is the neighbourhood itself — quiet residential grid around the former Colney Hatch asylum, now Princess Park Manor — which is why a N11 quote is not a Barnet average.
Gated estate access codes at Princess Park Manor; driveways elsewhere. Nearest station is New Southgate (Great Northern), and one technician with a portable extraction machine and air mover on a single household booking; two technicians on HMO, student accommodation and serviced-apartment rounds where six or more mattresses are cleaned in a day.
