In Bounds Green (N11) the split is 33% flats to 67% houses over 3,635 households, and the stock is mainly Edwardian.
Because 30% of Bounds Green is privately rented and 17% socially rented, a lot of N11 work is agreed with a landlord or managing agent rather than the person opening the door.
Walls are some of it dry-lined during a later refurbishment, over solid London stock brick, measured on the walk in from Bounds Green (Piccadilly) rather than assumed from a map, so the fixing that matters in Bounds Green is chosen on site — the usual failure here is fixings landing in soft lime mortar joints instead of the brick body, as the Bounds Green stock goes, where 53% owner-occupation means the same home is booked again rather than a new tenant each year.
Bounds Green 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 — quiet terraced streets between Wood Green and the North Circular — which is why a N11 quote is not a Enfield average.
On access, north Circular noise and access limits; side streets have permit bays and narrow turns — 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 Bounds Green (Piccadilly).
