Census 2021 puts Stroud Green at 3,957 households with a median age of 32. The mainly Victorian stock is social-housing-led, which is why 11% houses and 89% flats need different handling in N4.
Private renting sits at 26% and owner-occupation at 15%; the first group books garden clearance at short notice, the second plans it.
Stroud Green substrates run to often with surface conduit, over precast concrete panels and dense blockwork — which is what a 89% flat share across the ONS neighbourhood covering Stroud Green actually produces. Nothing is drilled until the wall has been sounded, because in N4, drilling blind into a panel with reinforcement or a buried cable behind it — measured on the walk in from Crouch Hill (Overground) rather than assumed from a map is the mistake that costs a N4 customer twice.
Two streets can behave very differently in Stroud Green: a single long road of independents linking Finsbury Park to Crouch End. The quote reflects the street the job is actually on. Stroud Green sits inside the Congestion Charge zone as well as ULEZ, so both are itemised on the quote rather than absorbed into an hourly rate.
Getting to the door matters as much as the job: narrow terraced streets with permit bays and steep front steps on most houses. Crouch Hill (Overground) is the nearest station, and two crew and a Luton or tipper; three where everything has to be carried through a hallway.
