The NW10 stock around BAPS Shri Swaminarayan Mandir is inter-war. ONS records 51% flats, 49% houses and 3,586 households in Neasden.
Owner-occupation runs at 35% in Neasden, so alongside the 47% rental churn there is steady planned work — refurbishments, downsizes and probate clearances booked weeks ahead.
Neasden substrates run to lath and plaster over timber studs; locally that also means with solid brick on the party and external walls — which is what a 51% flat share across the ONS neighbourhood covering Neasden actually produces. Nothing is drilled until the wall has been sounded, because a plasterboard plug spun into lime plaster in Neasden, which crumbles the key and drops the panel — with 19% social-rented stock locally, block access is agreed with the estate office first is the mistake that costs a NW10 customer twice.
Two streets can behave very differently in Neasden: the Hindu temple, the North Circular and industrial estates beside 1930s housing. The quote reflects the street the job is actually on. Neasden is outside the Congestion Charge zone but inside ULEZ; our vehicles are compliant, so nothing is added for it.
North Circular access is difficult; side streets are wide with driveways. Nearest station is Neasden (Jubilee), and one or two crew depending on the item — a sofa or mattress needs two people on a London staircase regardless of how light the piece is.
