Walk Belsize Park from Belsize Village outwards and the mainly Victorian pattern is obvious: 93% of the 3,000 households in NW3 live in flats, 7% in houses.
51% of households rent privately and 39% own, which is why pathway jet washing demand here peaks around tenancy changeovers and completion dates.
Walls are lath and plaster over timber studs in Belsize Park, with solid brick on the party and external walls — and with 51% of homes here privately rented, it sets the booking date as often as the job does, so the fixing that matters in Belsize Park is chosen on site — the usual failure here is which crumbles the key and drops the panel, over a plasterboard plug spun into lime plaster — and with 45% one-person households in Belsize Park, one adult is usually the only pair of hands on site.
Anyone who knows Belsize Park knows the pattern near Belsize Village: stucco villas and mansion blocks on the slope between Hampstead and Chalk Farm. We plan the NW3 visit around it. Belsize Park sits inside the Congestion Charge zone as well as ULEZ, so both are itemised on the quote rather than absorbed into an hourly rate.
Resident-permit streets, hill gradients and conversion flats up three or four flights. Nearest station is Belsize Park (Northern), and one technician for a private path; two where a communal walkway has to stay open to residents while the work is done, so one can manage access while the other washes.
