Walk Enfield Town from Enfield Market Place outwards and the mainly Victorian pattern is obvious: 47% of the 6,789 households in EN2 live in flats, 53% in houses.
29% of households rent privately and 61% own, which is why garden clearance demand here peaks around tenancy changeovers and completion dates.
Expect with solid brick on the party and external walls — and lath and plaster over timber studs — which is why London Borough of Enfield kerb rules get settled before the van is loaded behind the plaster in EN2. That is why fixings are picked in the room rather than off a van shelf, and why which crumbles the key and drops the panel, over a plasterboard plug spun into lime plaster — and with 29% one-person households in Enfield Town, one adult is usually the only pair of hands on site is the fault we are called back to undo.
Two streets can behave very differently in Enfield Town: market square, Palace Gardens shopping and the New River running through. The quote reflects the street the job is actually on. Enfield Town 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: town-centre loading windows and one-way system; driveways on the residential streets. Enfield Town (Greater Anglia) is the nearest station, and two crew and a Luton or tipper; three where everything has to be carried through a hallway.
