The N1 stock around De Beauvoir Square is mainly Victorian. ONS records 83% flats, 17% houses and 2,802 households in De Beauvoir Town.
Private renting sits at 52% and owner-occupation at 28%; the first group books green waste removal at short notice, the second plans it.
De Beauvoir Town substrates run to with metal stud partitions between rooms, over dot-and-dab plasterboard over blockwork — where 28% owner-occupation means the same home is booked again rather than a new tenant each year. Nothing is drilled until the wall has been sounded, because short screws that grip only the board and slowly lever it off the dabs on these streets — the pattern behind 2,802 households inside the N1 neighbourhood is the mistake that costs a N1 customer twice.
Two streets can behave very differently in De Beauvoir Town: a grid of Victorian Gothic villas between Kingsland Road and the canal. The quote reflects the street the job is actually on. De Beauvoir Town is outside the Congestion Charge zone but inside ULEZ; our vehicles are compliant, so nothing is added for it.
Conservation-area streets, LTN filters and villa basements with external steps. Nearest station is Haggerston (Overground), 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.
