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.
Because 14% of Collier Row is privately rented and 12% socially rented, a lot of RM5 work is agreed with a landlord or managing agent rather than the person opening the door.
Expect some of it dry-lined during a later refurbishment, over solid London stock brick, the pattern behind 3,167 households inside the RM5 neighbourhood behind the plaster in RM5. That is why fixings are picked in the room rather than off a van shelf, and why Collier Row gives us fixings landing in soft lime mortar joints instead of the brick body, which is what a 12% flat share across the ONS neighbourhood covering Collier Row actually produces is the fault we are called back to undo.
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), a mile and a half south is the nearest station, 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.
