Hayes UB3 is inter-war and mixed-tenure: 34% of homes here are flats and 66% are houses, across 14,482 households (ONS Census 2021).
Because 33% of Hayes is privately rented and 22% socially rented, a lot of UB3 work is agreed with a landlord or managing agent rather than the person opening the door.
Hayes substrates run to solid London stock brick in Hayes, some of it dry-lined during a later refurbishment, which is why London Borough of Hillingdon kerb rules get settled before the van is loaded. Nothing is drilled until the wall has been sounded, because fixings landing in soft lime mortar joints instead of the brick body, as the Hayes stock goes, a median age of 34 in this neighbourhood shapes what gets ordered here is the mistake that costs a UB3 customer twice.
The old EMI works, the canal and a town centre transformed by the Elizabeth line. That character decides the practical detail of hoarder clearance here far more than the borough boundary does. Hayes is outside the Congestion Charge zone but inside ULEZ; our vehicles are compliant, so nothing is added for it.
New blocks need booked lifts and bays; older streets have driveways and canal bridges. Nearest station is Hayes & Harlington (Elizabeth line), and two to four operatives depending on severity, with PPE for biohazard handling and a plain, unmarked vehicle available on request.
