Walk Willesden from Willesden Green Library outwards and the mainly Victorian pattern is obvious: 76% of the 3,705 households in NW10 live in flats, 24% in houses.
Private renting sits at 49% and owner-occupation at 31%; the first group books clearance services at short notice, the second plans it.
Willesden substrates run to with solid brick on the party and external walls — and lath and plaster over timber studs — with 20% social-rented stock locally, block access is agreed with the estate office first. Nothing is drilled until the wall has been sounded, because which crumbles the key and drops the panel, over a plasterboard plug spun into lime plaster — the pattern behind 3,705 households inside the NW10 neighbourhood is the mistake that costs a NW10 customer twice.
Two streets can behave very differently in Willesden: willesden Green's library and high road, with terraces spreading towards Neasden. The quote reflects the street the job is actually on. Willesden is outside the Congestion Charge zone but inside ULEZ; our vehicles are compliant, so nothing is added for it.
On access, high Road red route, permit bays on side streets and narrow rear accesses — one reason standard crews are two people with a 3.5-tonne Luton; bigger clears run two vans or return the same day rather than overfilling. Fitters travelling in use Willesden Green (Jubilee).
