In Feltham (TW13) the split is 35% flats to 65% houses over 15,008 households, and the stock is inter-war.
Because 25% of Feltham is privately rented and 22% socially rented, a lot of TW13 work is agreed with a landlord or managing agent rather than the person opening the door.
Walls are timber stud partitions inside; locally that also means cavity brickwork outside, with 22% social-rented stock locally, block access is agreed with the estate office first, so the fixing that matters in Feltham is chosen on site — the usual failure here is Feltham gives us a four-hole bracket with two screws in a stud and two in fresh air, and with 25% of homes here privately rented, it sets the booking date as often as the job does.
Feltham is outside the Congestion Charge zone but inside ULEZ; our vehicles are compliant, so nothing is added for it. What shapes the job more is the neighbourhood itself — airport-worker housing, the Longford River and a compact shopping centre — which is why a TW13 quote is not a Hounslow average.
On access, wide roads and driveways; flight-path noise but straightforward loading — 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.
