Gidea Park RM2 is inter-war and owner-occupier-led: 37% of homes here are flats and 63% are houses, across 3,958 households (ONS Census 2021).
Because 19% of Gidea Park is privately rented and 10% socially rented, a lot of RM2 work is agreed with a landlord or managing agent rather than the person opening the door.
Gidea Park substrates run to cavity brickwork outside, over timber stud partitions inside, which is what a 37% flat share across the ONS neighbourhood covering Gidea Park actually produces. Nothing is drilled until the wall has been sounded, because a four-hole bracket with two screws in a stud and two in fresh air, as the Gidea Park stock goes, the pattern behind 3,958 households inside the RM2 neighbourhood is the mistake that costs a RM2 customer twice.
The 1911 Garden Suburb exhibition estate of Arts and Crafts houses. That character decides the practical detail of rubbish removal here far more than the borough boundary does. Gidea Park is outside the Congestion Charge zone but inside ULEZ; our vehicles are compliant, so nothing is added for it.
Long driveways, gated entrances and quiet wide roads — easy for any van. Nearest station is Gidea Park (Elizabeth line), and one person and a car for boot-loads; two crew and a 3.5-tonne Luton for anything from a quarter-load upward.
