The IG2 stock around Gants Hill station's Moscow-inspired concourse is inter-war. ONS records 30% flats, 70% houses and 4,097 households in Gants Hill.
32% of households rent privately and 62% own, which is why garden clearance demand here peaks around tenancy changeovers and completion dates.
Walls are solid London stock brick in Gants Hill, some of it dry-lined during a later refurbishment — which is why London Borough of Redbridge kerb rules get settled before the van is loaded, so the fixing that matters in Gants Hill is chosen on site — the usual failure here is in IG2, fixings landing in soft lime mortar joints instead of the brick body — measured on the walk in from Gants Hill (Central) rather than assumed from a map.
Two streets can behave very differently in Gants Hill: the Moscow-style station rotunda, a busy roundabout and mansion flats around it. The quote reflects the street the job is actually on. Gants Hill is outside the Congestion Charge zone but inside ULEZ; our vehicles are compliant, so nothing is added for it.
On access, the roundabout is hard to load from; residential roads have driveways — one reason two crew and a Luton or tipper; three where everything has to be carried through a hallway. Fitters travelling in use Gants Hill (Central).
