Census 2021 puts Tottenham at 18,113 households with a median age of 32.9. The mainly Victorian stock is renter-heavy, which is why 43% houses and 57% flats need different handling in N17.
Private renting sits at 36% and owner-occupation at 29%; the first group books rubbish removal at short notice, the second plans it.
Walls are precast concrete panels and dense blockwork in Tottenham, often with surface conduit — the pattern behind 18,113 households inside the N17 neighbourhood, so the fixing that matters in Tottenham 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 — with 35% social-rented stock locally, block access is agreed with the estate office first.
Two streets can behave very differently in Tottenham: stadium district, Hale regeneration and long Victorian terraces on the High Road. The quote reflects the street the job is actually on. Tottenham is outside the Congestion Charge zone but inside ULEZ; our vehicles are compliant, so nothing is added for it.
On access, match-day closures and parking bans, red routes on the High Road and lift booking at Hale Village — one reason two crew and a 3.5-tonne Luton as standard; heavy rubble loads run below the legal weight limit rather than filling the space. Fitters travelling in use Tottenham Hale (Victoria, Greater Anglia).
