Census 2021 puts Hoxton at 7,353 households with a median age of 31.6. The Georgian and early Victorian stock is social-housing-led, which is why 3% houses and 96% flats need different handling in N1.
Owner-occupation runs at 22% in Hoxton, so alongside the 33% rental churn there is steady planned work — refurbishments, downsizes and probate clearances booked weeks ahead.
Hoxton substrates run to often with surface conduit, over precast concrete panels and dense blockwork — where 22% owner-occupation means the same home is booked again rather than a new tenant each year. Nothing is drilled until the wall has been sounded, because in N1, drilling blind into a panel with reinforcement or a buried cable behind it — measured on the walk in from Hoxton (Overground) rather than assumed from a map is the mistake that costs a N1 customer twice.
Two streets can behave very differently in Hoxton: hoxton Square, Geffrye Museum gardens and a mix of estates and converted workshops. The quote reflects the street the job is actually on. Hoxton is outside the Congestion Charge zone but inside ULEZ; our vehicles are compliant, so nothing is added for it.
Getting to the door matters as much as the job: low-traffic filters on side streets, permit bays and loft stairs with tight turns. Hoxton (Overground) is the nearest station, and standard crews are two people with a 3.5-tonne Luton; bigger clears run two vans or return the same day rather than overfilling.
