In Elm Park (RM12) the split is 17% flats to 83% houses over 6,250 households, and the stock is inter-war.
With 14% private renting against 76% owner-occupied, most RM12 bookings land on a move-in day rather than a weekend.
Walls are cavity brickwork outside — and timber stud partitions inside, the pattern behind 6,250 households inside the RM12 neighbourhood, so the fixing that matters in Elm Park is chosen on site — the usual failure here is a four-hole bracket with two screws in a stud and two in fresh air, as the Elm Park stock goes, which is what a 17% flat share across the ONS neighbourhood covering Elm Park actually produces.
A 1930s planned suburb built around its parade and station. That character decides the practical detail of green waste removal here far more than the borough boundary does. Elm Park is outside the Congestion Charge zone but inside ULEZ; our vehicles are compliant, so nothing is added for it.
Getting to the door matters as much as the job: wide roads and driveways; the Broadway has short loading bays. Elm Park (District) 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.
