In Harringay (N4) the split is 66% flats to 34% houses over 12,105 households, and the stock is period conversion.
With 45% private renting against 35% owner-occupied, most N4 bookings land on a move-in day rather than a weekend.
Walls are with solid brick on the party and external walls, over lath and plaster over timber studs, the reality on the streets around Green Lanes and Finsbury Park's northern edge, so the fixing that matters in Harringay is chosen on site — the usual failure here is a plasterboard plug spun into lime plaster in Harringay, which crumbles the key and drops the panel, and with 45% of homes here privately rented, it sets the booking date as often as the job does.
Harringay 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 — green Lanes' ocakbasi grills and the Harringay Ladder of parallel terraces — which is why a N4 quote is not a Haringey average.
Getting to the door matters as much as the job: the Ladder streets are narrow and fully permit-controlled; Green Lanes has short loading bays. Harringay Green Lanes (Overground) is the nearest station, 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.
