The W6 stock around Hammersmith Bridge and the Riverside Studios is mainly Victorian. ONS records 85% flats, 15% houses and 3,807 households in Hammersmith.
Private renting sits at 38% and owner-occupation at 23%; the first group books business clearance at short notice, the second plans it.
Walls are often with surface conduit — and precast concrete panels and dense blockwork — which is what a 85% flat share across the ONS neighbourhood covering Hammersmith actually produces, so the fixing that matters in Hammersmith is chosen on site — the usual failure here is drilling blind into a panel with reinforcement or a buried cable behind it on these streets — and with 40% one-person households in Hammersmith, one adult is usually the only pair of hands on site.
Anyone who knows Hammersmith knows the pattern near Hammersmith Bridge and the Riverside Studios: riverside pubs and the Lyric theatre either side of a busy flyover and bus station. We plan the W6 visit around it. Hammersmith is outside the Congestion Charge zone but inside ULEZ; our vehicles are compliant, so nothing is added for it.
A4 red route, gyratory congestion and mansion blocks with small original lifts. Nearest station is Hammersmith (District, Piccadilly, Circle, Hammersmith & City), 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.
