Census 2021 puts Wood Green at 5,861 households with a median age of 35.4. The mainly Victorian stock is renter-heavy, which is why 32% houses and 68% flats need different handling in N22.
Private renting sits at 43% and owner-occupation at 32%; the first group books clearance services at short notice, the second plans it.
Walls are with metal stud partitions between rooms — and dot-and-dab plasterboard over blockwork — the reality on the streets around Alexandra Palace, so the fixing that matters in Wood Green is chosen on site — the usual failure here is in N22, short screws that grip only the board and slowly lever it off the dabs — with 25% social-rented stock locally, block access is agreed with the estate office first.
Two streets can behave very differently in Wood Green: the Mall shopping centre, Turkish and Greek high street and Alexandra Park behind. The quote reflects the street the job is actually on. Wood Green 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, shopping-centre service yards and estate lift booking — 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 Wood Green (Piccadilly).
