Walk Hammersmith from Hammersmith Bridge and the Riverside Studios outwards and the mainly Victorian pattern is obvious: 85% of the 3,807 households in W6 live in flats, 15% in houses.
Private renting sits at 38% and owner-occupation at 23%; the first group books end of tenancy clearance at short notice, the second plans it.
Expect precast concrete panels and dense blockwork in W6, often with surface conduit — where 23% owner-occupation means the same home is booked again rather than a new tenant each year behind the plaster in W6. That is why fixings are picked in the room rather than off a van shelf, and why in W6, drilling blind into a panel with reinforcement or a buried cable behind it — which is why London Borough of Hammersmith and Fulham kerb rules get settled before the van is loaded is the fault we are called back to undo.
Two streets can behave very differently in Hammersmith: riverside pubs and the Lyric theatre either side of a busy flyover and bus station. The quote reflects the street the job is actually on. Hammersmith 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: a4 red route, gyratory congestion and mansion blocks with small original lifts. Hammersmith (District, Piccadilly, Circle, Hammersmith & City) is the nearest station, and two operatives with a Luton van as standard, scaling to a second vehicle for a full three-bed or a property with no lift.
