Walk Shepherd's Bush from Westfield London and Shepherd's Bush Market outwards and the mainly Victorian pattern is obvious: 87% of the 9,929 households in W12 live in flats, 13% in houses.
Private renting sits at 40% and owner-occupation at 26%; the first group books garden clearance at short notice, the second plans it.
Walls are precast concrete panels and dense blockwork; locally that also means often with surface conduit — a median age of 33 in this neighbourhood shapes what gets ordered here, so the fixing that matters in Shepherd's Bush is chosen on site — the usual failure here is in W12, drilling blind into a panel with reinforcement or a buried cable behind it — the pattern behind 9,929 households inside the W12 neighbourhood.
Two streets can behave very differently in Shepherd's Bush: the green, the market and Westfield's mall on the old exhibition grounds. The quote reflects the street the job is actually on. Shepherd's Bush is outside the Congestion Charge zone but inside ULEZ; our vehicles are compliant, so nothing is added for it.
On access, mall service yards, Uxbridge Road bus lanes and permit-only side streets — one reason two crew and a Luton or tipper; three where everything has to be carried through a hallway. Fitters travelling in use Shepherd's Bush (Central, Overground).
