The UB6 stock around The Grand Union Canal at Greenford is inter-war. ONS records 41% flats, 58% houses and 12,474 households in Greenford.
30% of households rent privately and 53% own, which is why pathway jet washing demand here peaks around tenancy changeovers and completion dates.
Walls are some of it dry-lined during a later refurbishment, over solid London stock brick — and with 30% of homes here privately rented, it sets the booking date as often as the job does, so the fixing that matters in Greenford is chosen on site — the usual failure here is in UB6, fixings landing in soft lime mortar joints instead of the brick body — the pattern behind 12,474 households inside the UB6 neighbourhood.
Two streets can behave very differently in Greenford: canal-side industry, the Central line's wooden escalator and 1930s semis. The quote reflects the street the job is actually on. Greenford is outside the Congestion Charge zone but inside ULEZ; our vehicles are compliant, so nothing is added for it.
Getting to the door matters as much as the job: wide roads with driveways; the industrial estates carry heavy traffic at peak. Greenford (Central) is the nearest station, 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.
