The N1 stock around De Beauvoir Square is mainly Victorian. ONS records 83% flats, 17% houses and 2,802 households in De Beauvoir Town.
52% of households rent privately and 28% own, which is why mattress cleaning demand here peaks around tenancy changeovers and completion dates.
Expect with metal stud partitions between rooms — and dot-and-dab plasterboard over blockwork — the reality on the streets around De Beauvoir Square behind the plaster in N1. That is why fixings are picked in the room rather than off a van shelf, and why in N1, short screws that grip only the board and slowly lever it off the dabs — measured on the walk in from Haggerston (Overground) rather than assumed from a map is the fault we are called back to undo.
