The NW2 stock around Cricklewood Broadway is mainly Edwardian. ONS records 74% flats, 26% houses and 4,362 households in Cricklewood.
Private renting sits at 47% and owner-occupation at 34%; the first group books shed clearance and removal at short notice, the second plans it.
Cricklewood substrates run to with metal stud partitions between rooms — and dot-and-dab plasterboard over blockwork — which is why London Borough of Brent kerb rules get settled before the van is loaded. Nothing is drilled until the wall has been sounded, because in NW2, short screws that grip only the board and slowly lever it off the dabs — with 19% social-rented stock locally, block access is agreed with the estate office first is the mistake that costs a NW2 customer twice.
Two streets can behave very differently in Cricklewood: broadway shops on the A5, with Edwardian terraces and the Brent Cross works beyond. The quote reflects the street the job is actually on. Cricklewood is outside the Congestion Charge zone but inside ULEZ; our vehicles are compliant, so nothing is added for it.
Getting to the door matters as much as the job: a5 red route, permit bays and terraced streets with tight parking. Cricklewood (Thameslink) is the nearest station, and two crew and a Luton on a standard timber shed; three crew where the shed is a workshop size, the base is concrete or the only route out is through the house.
