3,927 households sit inside the WC2 neighbourhood covering Temple and Aldwych. The build is period conversion, the tenure profile renter-heavy, and 95% of those homes are flats.
With 44% private renting against 28% owner-occupied, most WC2 bookings land on a move-in day rather than a weekend.
Temple and Aldwych substrates run to dot-and-dab plasterboard over blockwork; locally that also means with metal stud partitions between rooms, and with 46% one-person households in Temple and Aldwych, one adult is usually the only pair of hands on site. Nothing is drilled until the wall has been sounded, because short screws that grip only the board and slowly lever it off the dabs, as the Temple and Aldwych stock goes, which is what a 95% flat share across the ONS neighbourhood covering Temple and Aldwych actually produces is the mistake that costs a WC2 customer twice.
Temple and Aldwych sits inside the Congestion Charge zone as well as ULEZ, so both are itemised on the quote rather than absorbed into an hourly rate. What shapes the job more is the neighbourhood itself — barristers' chambers, King's College buildings and the crescent of Aldwych — which is why a WC2 quote is not a Westminster average.
Getting to the door matters as much as the job: embankment red route, Inns gate control and no loading on the Strand at peak times. Temple (Circle, District) 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.
