Walk Wembley from Wembley Stadium outwards and the inter-war pattern is obvious: 47% of the 9,097 households in HA9 live in flats, 53% in houses.
41% of households rent privately and 45% own, which is why building waste clearance demand here peaks around tenancy changeovers and completion dates.
Expect with solid brick on the party and external walls, over lath and plaster over timber studs — and with 20% one-person households in Wembley, one adult is usually the only pair of hands on site behind the plaster in HA9. That is why fixings are picked in the room rather than off a van shelf, and why a plasterboard plug spun into lime plaster; locally that also means which crumbles the key and drops the panel — and event-day road closures and parking bans; every new block needs a booked lift and bay is the fault we are called back to undo.
Anyone who knows Wembley knows the pattern near Wembley Stadium: stadium, arena and a new district of high-rise apartments along Olympic Way. We plan the HA9 visit around it. Wembley is outside the Congestion Charge zone but inside ULEZ; our vehicles are compliant, so nothing is added for it.
On access, event-day road closures and parking bans; every new block needs a booked lift and bay — one reason two crew and a Luton on most strip-outs; three crew and a tipper where the load is rubble, hardcore or soil and weight rather than volume decides the run. Fitters travelling in use Wembley Park (Metropolitan, Jubilee).
