In Greenford (UB6) the split is 41% flats to 58% houses over 12,474 households, and the stock is inter-war.
Because 30% of Greenford is privately rented and 17% socially rented, a lot of UB6 work is agreed with a landlord or managing agent rather than the person opening the door.
Expect solid London stock brick in UB6, some of it dry-lined during a later refurbishment, which is why London Borough of Ealing kerb rules get settled before the van is loaded behind the plaster in UB6. That is why fixings are picked in the room rather than off a van shelf, and why fixings landing in soft lime mortar joints instead of the brick body, as the Greenford stock goes, a median age of 37 in this neighbourhood shapes what gets ordered here is the fault we are called back to undo.

Getting to the door matters as much as the job: wide roads with driveways; the industrial estates carry heavy traffic at peak. Greenford (Central) is the nearest station, and two crew and a Luton on most garden clearances; three crew and a tipper where the load is mainly soil, turf or rubble and weight rather than volume decides the run.
