17,818 households sit inside the N9 neighbourhood covering Edmonton. The build is mainly Victorian, the tenure profile social-housing-led, and 47% of those homes are flats.
Because 34% of Edmonton is privately rented and 32% socially rented, a lot of N9 work is agreed with a landlord or managing agent rather than the person opening the door.
Edmonton substrates run to precast concrete panels and dense blockwork; locally that also means often with surface conduit, and with 27% one-person households in Edmonton, one adult is usually the only pair of hands on site. Nothing is drilled until the wall has been sounded, because Edmonton gives us drilling blind into a panel with reinforcement or a buried cable behind it, the reality on the streets around Edmonton Green Market is the mistake that costs a N9 customer twice.
Edmonton 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 — market, shopping centre and dense post-war housing on the Lea valley flat — which is why a N9 quote is not a Enfield average.
Tower blocks with a single goods lift, estate service roads and market congestion. Nearest station is Edmonton Green (Greater Anglia), and two cleaners for a flat, two to three for a house, working together in one visit rather than spreading the job across days.
