Walk Kensal Green and Kensal Rise from Kensal Green Cemetery outwards and the mainly Victorian pattern is obvious: 55% of the 3,940 households in NW10 live in flats, 45% in houses.
Private renting sits at 30% and owner-occupation at 49%; the first group books flat and apartment clearance at short notice, the second plans it.
Walls are lath and plaster over timber studs in NW10, with solid brick on the party and external walls — which is what a 55% flat share across the ONS neighbourhood covering Kensal Green and Kensal Rise actually produces, so the fixing that matters in Kensal Green and Kensal Rise is chosen on site — the usual failure here is a plasterboard plug spun into lime plaster; locally that also means which crumbles the key and drops the panel — and with 30% one-person households in Kensal Green and Kensal Rise, one adult is usually the only pair of hands on site.
Two streets can behave very differently in Kensal Green and Kensal Rise: chamberlayne Road's independents and the great Victorian cemetery. The quote reflects the street the job is actually on. Kensal Green and Kensal Rise is outside the Congestion Charge zone but inside ULEZ; our vehicles are compliant, so nothing is added for it.
On access, narrow terraced streets, permit bays and railway bridges with height limits — one reason 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. Fitters travelling in use Kensal Rise (Overground).
