Census 2021 puts West Hampstead at 4,309 households with a median age of 33.1. The mainly Victorian stock is renter-heavy, which is why 12% houses and 88% flats need different handling in NW6.
Owner-occupation runs at 30% in West Hampstead, so alongside the 49% rental churn there is steady planned work — refurbishments, downsizes and probate clearances booked weeks ahead.
West Hampstead substrates run to lath and plaster over timber studs in NW6, with solid brick on the party and external walls — the pattern behind 4,309 households inside the NW6 neighbourhood. Nothing is drilled until the wall has been sounded, because which crumbles the key and drops the panel — and a plasterboard plug spun into lime plaster — and with 49% of homes here privately rented, it sets the booking date as often as the job does is the mistake that costs a NW6 customer twice.
Two streets can behave very differently in West Hampstead: three stations, a busy high street and streets of red-brick Victorian conversions. The quote reflects the street the job is actually on. West Hampstead sits inside the Congestion Charge zone as well as ULEZ, so both are itemised on the quote rather than absorbed into an hourly rate.
Very tight parking, narrow terraced streets and flats up two to four flights without lifts. Nearest station is West Hampstead (Jubilee, Overground, Thameslink), and two crew and a Luton on a standard mattress and base; the same crew dismantles bunk frames and storage divans on site before the carry.
