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.
Expect precast concrete panels and dense blockwork; locally that also means often with surface conduit, which is why London Borough of Hammersmith and Fulham kerb rules get settled before the van is loaded behind the plaster in W6. That is why fixings are picked in the room rather than off a van shelf, and why drilling blind into a panel with reinforcement or a buried cable behind it, as the Hammersmith stock goes, where 23% owner-occupation means the same home is booked again rather than a new tenant each year is the fault we are called back to undo.
Riverside pubs and the Lyric theatre either side of a busy flyover and bus station. That character decides the practical detail of hoarder clearance here far more than the borough boundary does. Hammersmith 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: a4 red route, gyratory congestion and mansion blocks with small original lifts. Hammersmith (District, Piccadilly, Circle, Hammersmith & City) is the nearest station, and two to four operatives depending on severity, with PPE for biohazard handling and a plain, unmarked vehicle available on request.
