Walk Totteridge from Totteridge Green and the village pond outwards and the mixed-era pattern is obvious: 12% of the 3,519 households in N20 live in flats, 85% in houses.
Private renting sits at 14% and owner-occupation at 75%; the first group books construction site clearance at short notice, the second plans it.
Expect timber stud partitions inside in N20, cavity brickwork outside — and with 14% of homes here privately rented, it sets the booking date as often as the job does behind the plaster in N20. That is why fixings are picked in the room rather than off a van shelf, and why in N20, a four-hole bracket with two screws in a stud and two in fresh air — measured on the walk in from Totteridge & Whetstone (Northern) rather than assumed from a map is the fault we are called back to undo.
Two streets can behave very differently in Totteridge: green-belt lane of large houses, paddocks and a village pond. The quote reflects the street the job is actually on. Totteridge is outside the Congestion Charge zone but inside ULEZ; our vehicles are compliant, so nothing is added for it.
Long gravel drives, narrow lanes without passing places and gated entrances. Nearest station is Totteridge & Whetstone (Northern), 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.
