The SW5 stock around The Earl's Court exhibition site redevelopment is period conversion. ONS records 97% flats, 3% houses and 3,241 households in Earl's Court.
Private renting sits at 44% and owner-occupation at 25%; the first group books rubbish removal at short notice, the second plans it.
Walls are often with surface conduit — and precast concrete panels and dense blockwork — with 31% social-rented stock locally, block access is agreed with the estate office first, so the fixing that matters in Earl's Court 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 — which is what a 97% flat share across the ONS neighbourhood covering Earl's Court actually produces.
Two streets can behave very differently in Earl's Court: tall stucco terraces of flats and short lets around the former exhibition site. The quote reflects the street the job is actually on. Earl's Court sits inside the Congestion Charge zone as well as ULEZ, so both are itemised on the quote rather than absorbed into an hourly rate.
Dense short-let turnover, permit bays and five flights of communal stairs with no lift. Nearest station is Earl's Court (District, Piccadilly), and two crew and a 3.5-tonne Luton as standard; heavy rubble loads run below the legal weight limit rather than filling the space.
