Ickenham UB10 is inter-war and owner-occupier-led: 12% of homes here are flats and 88% are houses, across 2,922 households (ONS Census 2021).
Because 14% of Ickenham is privately rented and 4% socially rented, a lot of UB10 work is agreed with a landlord or managing agent rather than the person opening the door.
Walls are cavity brickwork outside — and timber stud partitions inside, the pattern behind 2,922 households inside the UB10 neighbourhood, so the fixing that matters in Ickenham is chosen on site — the usual failure here is a four-hole bracket with two screws in a stud and two in fresh air, as the Ickenham stock goes, where 82% owner-occupation means the same home is booked again rather than a new tenant each year.
A village green with a pump and pond, surrounded by interwar housing. That character decides the practical detail of construction site clearance here far more than the borough boundary does. Ickenham is outside the Congestion Charge zone but inside ULEZ; our vehicles are compliant, so nothing is added for it.
On access, wide roads and long driveways; the village centre is narrow but quiet — one reason 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.
