Kensal Green and Kensal Rise substrates run to lath and plaster over timber studs; locally that also means with solid brick on the party and external walls — the reality on the streets around Kensal Green Cemetery. Nothing is drilled until the wall has been sounded, because a plasterboard plug spun into lime plaster; locally that also means which crumbles the key and drops the panel — which is why London Borough of Brent kerb rules get settled before the van is loaded is the mistake that costs a NW10 customer twice.
Anyone who knows Kensal Green and Kensal Rise knows the pattern near Kensal Green Cemetery: chamberlayne Road's independents and the great Victorian cemetery. We plan the NW10 visit around it. Kensal Green and Kensal Rise is outside the Congestion Charge zone but inside ULEZ; our vehicles are compliant, so nothing is added for it.
Narrow terraced streets, permit bays and railway bridges with height limits. Nearest station is Kensal Rise (Overground), and three to six operatives depending on the plant, with skates, pallet trucks and a tail-lift 7.5t as standard and a HIAB where a machine cannot be moved to the bay by hand.
