Census 2021 puts Neasden at 3,586 households with a median age of 35.2. The inter-war stock is renter-heavy, which is why 49% houses and 51% flats need different handling in NW10.
47% of households rent privately and 35% own, which is why fridge and freezer disposal demand here peaks around tenancy changeovers and completion dates.
Walls are lath and plaster over timber studs in NW10, with solid brick on the party and external walls — where 35% owner-occupation means the same home is booked again rather than a new tenant each year, so the fixing that matters in Neasden is chosen on site — the usual failure here is which crumbles the key and drops the panel, over a plasterboard plug spun into lime plaster — and with 28% one-person households in Neasden, one adult is usually the only pair of hands on site.
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.
On access, north Circular access is difficult; side streets are wide with driveways — one reason one or two crew depending on access; American-style and full-height units on an upper floor with no lift are booked as a two-person job as standard. Fitters travelling in use Neasden (Jubilee).
