Walk Hanwell from The Wharncliffe Viaduct outwards and the mainly Victorian pattern is obvious: 45% of the 3,219 households in W7 live in flats, 55% in houses.
31% of households rent privately and 55% own, which is why construction site clearance demand here peaks around tenancy changeovers and completion dates.
Expect some of it dry-lined during a later refurbishment, over solid London stock brick — which is what a 45% flat share across the ONS neighbourhood covering Hanwell actually produces behind the plaster in W7. That is why fixings are picked in the room rather than off a van shelf, and why fixings landing in soft lime mortar joints instead of the brick body on these streets — and narrow bridges over the brent, permit bays near the station and driveways elsewhere is the fault we are called back to undo.
Anyone who knows Hanwell knows the pattern near The Wharncliffe Viaduct: the Wharncliffe Viaduct, the Brent valley and a village-like clock tower centre. We plan the W7 visit around it. Hanwell 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: narrow bridges over the Brent, permit bays near the station and driveways elsewhere. Hanwell (Elizabeth line) 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.
