Census 2021 puts Hendon at 14,613 households with a median age of 34.2. The inter-war stock is renter-heavy, which is why 42% houses and 58% flats need different handling in NW4.
Owner-occupation runs at 43% in Hendon, so alongside the 45% rental churn there is steady planned work — refurbishments, downsizes and probate clearances booked weeks ahead.
Expect with metal stud partitions between rooms, over dot-and-dab plasterboard over blockwork — and a41 and m1 approaches are fast and hard to load from; side streets have driveways behind the plaster in NW4. That is why fixings are picked in the room rather than off a van shelf, and why short screws that grip only the board and slowly lever it off the dabs on these streets — measured on the walk in from Hendon Central (Northern) rather than assumed from a map is the fault we are called back to undo.
Anyone who knows Hendon knows the pattern near The RAF Museum London: university campus, Brent Street's shops and the RAF Museum on the old aerodrome. We plan the NW4 visit around it. Hendon is outside the Congestion Charge zone but inside ULEZ; our vehicles are compliant, so nothing is added for it.
Getting to the door matters as much as the job: a41 and M1 approaches are fast and hard to load from; side streets have driveways. Hendon Central (Northern) is the nearest station, and two operatives with a 3.5t tipper as standard, scaling to four operatives and a 7.5t vehicle on strip-outs or where the waste has to be barrowed a long way to the frontage.
