In Hammersmith (W6) the split is 85% flats to 15% houses over 3,807 households, and the stock is mainly Victorian.
With 38% private renting against 23% owner-occupied, most W6 bookings land on a move-in day rather than a weekend.
Hammersmith substrates run to often with surface conduit — and precast concrete panels and dense blockwork, and with 40% one-person households in Hammersmith, one adult is usually the only pair of hands on site. Nothing is drilled until the wall has been sounded, because Hammersmith gives us drilling blind into a panel with reinforcement or a buried cable behind it, which is what a 85% flat share across the ONS neighbourhood covering Hammersmith actually produces is the mistake that costs a W6 customer twice.
Hammersmith 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 — riverside pubs and the Lyric theatre either side of a busy flyover and bus station — which is why a W6 quote is not a Hammersmith and Fulham average.
Getting to the door matters as much as the job: a4 red route, gyratory congestion and mansion blocks with small original lifts. Hammersmith (District, Piccadilly, Circle, Hammersmith & City) 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.
