Walk Winchmore Hill from Winchmore Hill Green outwards and the mainly Edwardian pattern is obvious: 27% of the 3,056 households in N21 live in flats, 73% in houses.
20% of households rent privately and 76% 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 — and with 20% of homes here privately rented, it sets the booking date as often as the job does behind the plaster in N21. That is why fixings are picked in the room rather than off a van shelf, and why in N21, fixings landing in soft lime mortar joints instead of the brick body — and with 24% one-person households in Winchmore Hill, 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 Winchmore Hill: village green, independent shops and some of the borough's biggest houses. The quote reflects the street the job is actually on. Winchmore Hill is outside the Congestion Charge zone but inside ULEZ; our vehicles are compliant, so nothing is added for it.
Driveways throughout; the green is a conservation area with loading limits. Nearest station is Winchmore Hill (Great 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.
