Census 2021 puts West Hampstead at 4,309 households with a median age of 33.1. The mainly Victorian stock is renter-heavy, which is why 12% houses and 88% flats need different handling in NW6.
Private renting sits at 49% and owner-occupation at 30%; the first group books mattress cleaning at short notice, the second plans it.
Walls are lath and plaster over timber studs in NW6, with solid brick on the party and external walls — a median age of 33 in this neighbourhood shapes what gets ordered here, so the fixing that matters in West Hampstead is chosen on site — the usual failure here is a plasterboard plug spun into lime plaster in NW6, which crumbles the key and drops the panel — the pattern behind 4,309 households inside the NW6 neighbourhood.
Anyone who knows West Hampstead knows the pattern near West End Lane: three stations, a busy high street and streets of red-brick Victorian conversions. We plan the NW6 visit around it. West Hampstead sits inside the Congestion Charge zone as well as ULEZ, so both are itemised on the quote rather than absorbed into an hourly rate.
On access, very tight parking, narrow terraced streets and flats up two to four flights without lifts — one reason 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.
