In Moorgate (EC2) the split is 98% flats to 2% houses over 4,914 households, and the stock is recent new-build.
With 48% private renting against 37% owner-occupied, most EC2 bookings land on a move-in day rather than a weekend.
Expect with metal stud partitions between rooms — and dot-and-dab plasterboard over blockwork, and with 51% one-person households in Moorgate, one adult is usually the only pair of hands on site behind the plaster in EC2. That is why fixings are picked in the room rather than off a van shelf, and why Moorgate gives us short screws that grip only the board and slowly lever it off the dabs, where 37% owner-occupation means the same home is booked again rather than a new tenant each year is the fault we are called back to undo.
Moorgate 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 — office core around Finsbury Circus and Liverpool Street, with a small resident population above the shops — which is why a EC2 quote is not a City of London average.
Getting to the door matters as much as the job: congestion Charge, weekday loading windows before 10:00, and building managers who require insurance documents. Moorgate (Northern, Elizabeth line) is the nearest station, and four operatives with a 7.5t tail-lift vehicle on a standard unit, scaling to six with a second vehicle where the handover date is tight.
