In Dartmouth Park (NW5) the split is 72% flats to 28% houses over 3,395 households, and the stock is mainly Victorian.
The social-housing-led mix here (45% owned, 18% privately rented) means a NW5 diary swings between short-notice tenancy deadlines and appointments set a fortnight out.
Dartmouth Park substrates run to often with surface conduit, over precast concrete panels and dense blockwork, with 36% social-rented stock locally, block access is agreed with the estate office first. Nothing is drilled until the wall has been sounded, because drilling blind into a panel with reinforcement or a buried cable behind it, as the Dartmouth Park stock goes, a median age of 42 in this neighbourhood shapes what gets ordered here is the mistake that costs a NW5 customer twice.
Dartmouth Park sits inside the Congestion Charge zone as well as ULEZ, so both are itemised on the quote rather than absorbed into an hourly rate. What shapes the job more is the neighbourhood itself — steep Victorian streets between Highgate Cemetery and the eastern edge of Hampstead Heath — which is why a NW5 quote is not a Camden average.
On access, steep gradients, resident permit bays and long communal stair runs in the conversions — one reason 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.
