Census 2021 puts Ealing at 18,588 households with a median age of 37.2. The mainly Victorian stock is renter-heavy, which is why 37% houses and 63% flats need different handling in W5.
41% of households rent privately and 45% own, which is why flat and apartment clearance demand here peaks around tenancy changeovers and completion dates.
Walls are dot-and-dab plasterboard over blockwork in Ealing, with metal stud partitions between rooms — where 45% owner-occupation means the same home is booked again rather than a new tenant each year, so the fixing that matters in Ealing is chosen on site — the usual failure here is short screws that grip only the board and slowly lever it off the dabs on these streets — which is why London Borough of Ealing kerb rules get settled before the van is loaded.
Two streets can behave very differently in Ealing: the Queen of the Suburbs — Walpole Park, the studios and a busy Broadway. The quote reflects the street the job is actually on. Ealing is outside the Congestion Charge zone but inside ULEZ; our vehicles are compliant, so nothing is added for it.
Broadway loading windows, permit bays on the villa streets and booked lifts in new blocks. Nearest station is Ealing Broadway (Elizabeth line, Central, District), 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.
