3,167 households sit inside the RM5 neighbourhood covering Collier Row. The build is post-war, the tenure profile owner-occupier-led, and 12% of those homes are flats.
With 14% private renting against 74% owner-occupied, most RM5 bookings land on a move-in day rather than a weekend.
Collier Row substrates run to solid London stock brick in Collier Row, some of it dry-lined during a later refurbishment, which is why London Borough of Havering kerb rules get settled before the van is loaded. Nothing is drilled until the wall has been sounded, because Collier Row gives us fixings landing in soft lime mortar joints instead of the brick body, a median age of 39 in this neighbourhood shapes what gets ordered here is the mistake that costs a RM5 customer twice.
Collier Row is outside the Congestion Charge zone but inside ULEZ; our vehicles are compliant, so nothing is added for it. What shapes the job more is the neighbourhood itself — a large residential suburb north of Romford with its own shopping parade — which is why a RM5 quote is not a Havering average.
Getting to the door matters as much as the job: wide suburban roads, driveways and easy kerbside loading. Romford (Elizabeth line) is the nearest station, and a two-person crew and a Luton for flats; three or four crew and two vans for houses with lofts, cellars or garages.
