Walk Regent's Park from The Nash Terraces and London Zoo outwards and the post-war pattern is obvious: 92% of the 3,014 households in NW1 live in flats, 8% in houses.
55% of households rent privately and 38% own, which is why building waste clearance demand here peaks around tenancy changeovers and completion dates.
Walls are with solid brick on the party and external walls — and lath and plaster over timber studs — and with 55% of homes here privately rented, it sets the booking date as often as the job does, so the fixing that matters in Regent's Park is chosen on site — the usual failure here is a plasterboard plug spun into lime plaster; locally that also means which crumbles the key and drops the panel — and with 43% one-person households in Regent's Park, one adult is usually the only pair of hands on site.
Two streets can behave very differently in Regent's Park: nash terraces and villas facing the park, plus the zoo and Marylebone's northern edge. The quote reflects the street the job is actually on. Regent's 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.
Getting to the door matters as much as the job: royal Parks vehicle restrictions, listed frontages needing protection and no kerbside loading on the Outer Circle. Regent's Park (Bakerloo) is the nearest station, and 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.
