In Hainault (IG6) the split is 25% flats to 75% houses over 5,741 households, and the stock is post-war.
With 17% private renting against 58% owner-occupied, most IG6 bookings land on a move-in day rather than a weekend.
Walls are some of it dry-lined during a later refurbishment, over solid London stock brick, with 25% social-rented stock locally, block access is agreed with the estate office first, so the fixing that matters in Hainault is chosen on site — the usual failure here is Hainault gives us fixings landing in soft lime mortar joints instead of the brick body, the reality on the streets around Hainault Forest Country Park.
Hainault 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 — post-war LCC estate housing beside Hainault Forest Country Park — which is why a IG6 quote is not a Redbridge average.
Getting to the door matters as much as the job: wide estate roads with easy parking and level access to most homes. Hainault (Central) 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.
