Hammersmith W6 is mainly Victorian and renter-heavy: 85% of homes here are flats and 15% are houses, across 3,807 households (ONS Census 2021).
The renter-heavy mix here (23% owned, 38% privately rented) means a W6 diary swings between short-notice tenancy deadlines and appointments set a fortnight out.
Hammersmith substrates run to precast concrete panels and dense blockwork in Hammersmith, often with surface conduit, the pattern behind 3,807 households inside the W6 neighbourhood. Nothing is drilled until the wall has been sounded, because Hammersmith gives us drilling blind into a panel with reinforcement or a buried cable behind it, where 23% owner-occupation means the same home is booked again rather than a new tenant each year is the mistake that costs a W6 customer twice.
Riverside pubs and the Lyric theatre either side of a busy flyover and bus station. That character decides the practical detail of building waste clearance here far more than the borough boundary does. Hammersmith is outside the Congestion Charge zone but inside ULEZ; our vehicles are compliant, so nothing is added for it.
On access, a4 red route, gyratory congestion and mansion blocks with small original lifts — 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.
