In Golders Green (NW11) the split is 55% flats to 45% houses over 7,269 households, and the stock is inter-war.
Because 49% of Golders Green is privately rented and 6% socially rented, a lot of NW11 work is agreed with a landlord or managing agent rather than the person opening the door.
Walls are dot-and-dab plasterboard over blockwork in NW11, with metal stud partitions between rooms, measured on the walk in from Golders Green (Northern) rather than assumed from a map, so the fixing that matters in Golders Green is chosen on site — the usual failure here is short screws that grip only the board and slowly lever it off the dabs, as the Golders Green stock goes, which is what a 55% flat share across the ONS neighbourhood covering Golders Green actually produces.
Golders Green 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 — kosher bakeries, the crematorium and Hampstead Garden Suburb next door — which is why a NW11 quote is not a Barnet average.
Garden Suburb Trust rules on frontages, narrow service lanes and a busy bus station gyratory. Nearest station is Golders Green (Northern), and two crew and a Luton for a studio or one-bed; three crew and a second van on two- and three-bedroom apartments or any duplex.
