In Hendon (NW4) the split is 58% flats to 42% houses over 14,613 households, and the stock is inter-war.
With 45% private renting against 43% owner-occupied, most NW4 bookings land on a move-in day rather than a weekend.
Hendon substrates run to with metal stud partitions between rooms, over dot-and-dab plasterboard over blockwork, which is why London Borough of Barnet kerb rules get settled before the van is loaded. Nothing is drilled until the wall has been sounded, because short screws that grip only the board and slowly lever it off the dabs, as the Hendon stock goes, where 43% owner-occupation means the same home is booked again rather than a new tenant each year is the mistake that costs a NW4 customer twice.
Hendon 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 — university campus, Brent Street's shops and the RAF Museum on the old aerodrome — which is why a NW4 quote is not a Barnet average.
A41 and M1 approaches are fast and hard to load from; side streets have driveways. Nearest station is Hendon Central (Northern), and two crew and a Luton on a small office or shop unit; three to four crew with a 7.5-tonne vehicle on retail strip-outs, warehouses and racking removals.
