In Hayes (UB3) the split is 34% flats to 66% houses over 14,482 households, and the stock is inter-war.
With 33% private renting against 45% owner-occupied, most UB3 bookings land on a move-in day rather than a weekend.
Walls are solid London stock brick in UB3, some of it dry-lined during a later refurbishment, the reality on the streets around The former EMI factory at Blyth Road, so the fixing that matters in Hayes is chosen on site — the usual failure here is fixings landing in soft lime mortar joints instead of the brick body, as the Hayes stock goes, a median age of 34 in this neighbourhood shapes what gets ordered here.
The old EMI works, the canal and a town centre transformed by the Elizabeth line. That character decides the practical detail of rubbish removal here far more than the borough boundary does. Hayes is outside the Congestion Charge zone but inside ULEZ; our vehicles are compliant, so nothing is added for it.
New blocks need booked lifts and bays; older streets have driveways and canal bridges. Nearest station is Hayes & Harlington (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.
