Walk Harringay from Green Lanes and Finsbury Park's northern edge outwards and the period conversion pattern is obvious: 66% of the 12,105 households in N4 live in flats, 34% in houses.
45% of households rent privately and 35% 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 — where 35% owner-occupation means the same home is booked again rather than a new tenant each year behind the plaster in N4. That is why fixings are picked in the room rather than off a van shelf, and why which crumbles the key and drops the panel, over a plasterboard plug spun into lime plaster — and with 30% one-person households in Harringay, one adult is usually the only pair of hands on site is the fault we are called back to undo.
Two streets can behave very differently in Harringay: green Lanes' ocakbasi grills and the Harringay Ladder of parallel terraces. The quote reflects the street the job is actually on. Harringay is outside the Congestion Charge zone but inside ULEZ; our vehicles are compliant, so nothing is added for it.
The Ladder streets are narrow and fully permit-controlled; Green Lanes has short loading bays. Nearest station is Harringay Green Lanes (Overground), 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.
