South Harrow substrates run to some of it dry-lined during a later refurbishment — and solid London stock brick — the reality on the streets around Alexandra Park, South Harrow. Nothing is drilled until the wall has been sounded, because in HA2, fixings landing in soft lime mortar joints instead of the brick body — and with 26% one-person households in South Harrow, one adult is usually the only pair of hands on site is the mistake that costs a HA2 customer twice.
Anyone who knows South Harrow knows the pattern near Alexandra Park, South Harrow: a busy shopping parade and residential streets running down to Northolt. We plan the HA2 visit around it. South Harrow is outside the Congestion Charge zone but inside ULEZ; our vehicles are compliant, so nothing is added for it.
Driveways on most streets; Northolt Road is busy with short loading bays. Nearest station is South Harrow (Piccadilly), and two to four operatives depending on room count, scaling to a second team on a full-floor or full-closure clearance where the schedule is set by a redevelopment date.
