In Hammersmith (W6) the split is 85% flats to 15% houses over 3,807 households, and the stock is mainly Victorian.
The renter-heavy mix here (23% owned, 38% privately rented) means a W6 diary swings between short-notice tenancy deadlines and appointments set a fortnight out.
Walls are often with surface conduit, over precast concrete panels and dense blockwork, with 39% social-rented stock locally, block access is agreed with the estate office first, so the fixing that matters in Hammersmith is chosen on site — the usual failure here is drilling blind into a panel with reinforcement or a buried cable behind it, as the Hammersmith stock goes, a median age of 33 in this neighbourhood shapes what gets ordered here.
Hammersmith is outside the Congestion Charge zone but inside ULEZ; our vehicles are compliant, so nothing is added for it. What shapes the job more is the neighbourhood itself — riverside pubs and the Lyric theatre either side of a busy flyover and bus station — which is why a W6 quote is not a Hammersmith and Fulham average.
A4 red route, gyratory congestion and mansion blocks with small original lifts. Nearest station is Hammersmith (District, Piccadilly, Circle, Hammersmith & City), and two crew and a Luton or tipper; three where everything has to be carried through a hallway.
