Census 2021 puts Mayfair at 3,555 households with a median age of 38.4. The mixed-era stock is renter-heavy, which is why 12% houses and 88% flats need different handling in W1.
Private renting sits at 57% and owner-occupation at 32%; the first group books warehouse clearance at short notice, the second plans it.
Mayfair substrates run to dot-and-dab plasterboard over blockwork; locally that also means with metal stud partitions between rooms — and with 57% of homes here privately rented, it sets the booking date as often as the job does. Nothing is drilled until the wall has been sounded, because in W1, short screws that grip only the board and slowly lever it off the dabs — and with 47% one-person households in Mayfair, one adult is usually the only pair of hands on site is the mistake that costs a W1 customer twice.
Two streets can behave very differently in Mayfair: grosvenor and Berkeley squares, private members' clubs and the flagship stores of Bond Street. The quote reflects the street the job is actually on. Mayfair sits inside the Congestion Charge zone as well as ULEZ, so both are itemised on the quote rather than absorbed into an hourly rate.
On access, extremely tight kerbside, mews arches under 2.1m and listed interiors needing floor and stair protection — one reason 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. Fitters travelling in use Bond Street (Central, Jubilee, Elizabeth line).
