In Shepherd's Bush (W12) the split is 87% flats to 13% houses over 9,929 households, and the stock is mainly Victorian.
The renter-heavy mix here (26% owned, 40% privately rented) means a W12 diary swings between short-notice tenancy deadlines and appointments set a fortnight out.
Shepherd's Bush substrates run to often with surface conduit, over precast concrete panels and dense blockwork, the pattern behind 9,929 households inside the W12 neighbourhood. Nothing is drilled until the wall has been sounded, because drilling blind into a panel with reinforcement or a buried cable behind it, as the Shepherd's Bush stock goes, which is what a 87% flat share across the ONS neighbourhood covering Shepherd's Bush actually produces is the mistake that costs a W12 customer twice.
Shepherd's Bush 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 green, the market and Westfield's mall on the old exhibition grounds — which is why a W12 quote is not a Hammersmith and Fulham average.
Mall service yards, Uxbridge Road bus lanes and permit-only side streets. Nearest station is Shepherd's Bush (Central, 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.
