In Edmonton (N9) the split is 47% flats to 53% houses over 17,818 households, and the stock is mainly Victorian.
Because 34% of Edmonton is privately rented and 32% socially rented, a lot of N9 work is agreed with a landlord or managing agent rather than the person opening the door.
Expect precast concrete panels and dense blockwork in N9, often with surface conduit, and with 27% one-person households in Edmonton, one adult is usually the only pair of hands on site behind the plaster in N9. That is why fixings are picked in the room rather than off a van shelf, and why Edmonton gives us drilling blind into a panel with reinforcement or a buried cable behind it, a median age of 34 in this neighbourhood shapes what gets ordered here is the fault we are called back to undo.
Edmonton 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 — market, shopping centre and dense post-war housing on the Lea valley flat — which is why a N9 quote is not a Enfield average.
On access, tower blocks with a single goods lift, estate service roads and market congestion — 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.
