Census 2021 puts North Kensington at 3,820 households with a median age of 38. The mainly Victorian stock is social-housing-led, which is why 19% houses and 81% flats need different handling in W10.
23% of households rent privately and 31% own, which is why green waste removal demand here peaks around tenancy changeovers and completion dates.
Walls are precast concrete panels and dense blockwork in W10, often with surface conduit — the reality on the streets around The Westway Sports Centre, so the fixing that matters in North Kensington is chosen on site — the usual failure here is drilling blind into a panel with reinforcement or a buried cable behind it on these streets — measured on the walk in from Latimer Road (Circle, Hammersmith & City) rather than assumed from a map.
Two streets can behave very differently in North Kensington: dense residential streets between the Westway and Wormwood Scrubs. The quote reflects the street the job is actually on. North Kensington sits inside the Congestion Charge zone as well as ULEZ, so both are itemised on the quote rather than absorbed into an hourly rate.
Westway underpasses, one-way estate roads and stair-only access in many blocks. Nearest station is Latimer Road (Circle, Hammersmith & City), 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.
