In Cranford and Heston (TW5) the split is 29% flats to 71% houses over 3,004 households, and the stock is inter-war.
With 41% private renting against 43% owner-occupied, most TW5 bookings land on a move-in day rather than a weekend.
Walls are solid London stock brick in Cranford and Heston, some of it dry-lined during a later refurbishment, where 43% owner-occupation means the same home is booked again rather than a new tenant each year, so the fixing that matters in Cranford and Heston is chosen on site — the usual failure here is fixings landing in soft lime mortar joints instead of the brick body, as the Cranford and Heston stock goes, the reality on the streets around Cranford Park and St Dunstan's Church.
Cranford and Heston 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 — airport-fringe suburbia with Cranford Park and the M4 close by — which is why a TW5 quote is not a Hounslow average.
Driveways throughout; motorway junctions are close but the side roads are quiet. Nearest station is Hounslow West (Piccadilly), and a two-person crew and a Luton for flats; three or four crew and two vans for houses with lofts, cellars or garages.
