Walls are timber stud partitions inside; locally that also means cavity brickwork outside — the reality on the streets around Ruislip Lido and Manor Farm, so the fixing that matters in Ruislip is chosen on site — the usual failure here is a four-hole bracket with two screws in a stud and two in fresh air on these streets — and driveways almost everywhere; only the high street parades have timed bays.

Driveways almost everywhere; only the high street parades have timed bays.
