In Perivale (UB6) the split is 36% flats to 64% houses over 2,939 households, and the stock is inter-war.
The renter-heavy mix here (53% owned, 40% privately rented) means a UB6 diary swings between short-notice tenancy deadlines and appointments set a fortnight out.
Walls are some of it dry-lined during a later refurbishment, over solid London stock brick, and with 40% of homes here privately rented, it sets the booking date as often as the job does, so the fixing that matters in Perivale is chosen on site — the usual failure here is fixings landing in soft lime mortar joints instead of the brick body, as the Perivale stock goes, measured on the walk in from Perivale (Central) rather than assumed from a map.
Perivale 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 — the Art Deco Hoover Building, the golf course and 1930s semis along the Western Avenue — which is why a UB6 quote is not a Ealing average.
On access, driveway parking on most streets; A40 slip roads and industrial estate access govern the rest — one reason 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. Fitters travelling in use Perivale (Central).
