Walk Enfield Town from Enfield Market Place outwards and the mainly Victorian pattern is obvious: 47% of the 6,789 households in EN2 live in flats, 53% in houses.
Owner-occupation runs at 61% in Enfield Town, so alongside the 29% rental churn there is steady planned work — refurbishments, downsizes and probate clearances booked weeks ahead.
Enfield Town substrates run to lath and plaster over timber studs in Enfield Town, with solid brick on the party and external walls — and with 29% of homes here privately rented, it sets the booking date as often as the job does. 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 — which is why London Borough of Enfield kerb rules get settled before the van is loaded is the mistake that costs a EN2 customer twice.
Anyone who knows Enfield Town knows the pattern near Enfield Market Place: market square, Palace Gardens shopping and the New River running through. We plan the EN2 visit around it. Enfield Town is outside the Congestion Charge zone but inside ULEZ; our vehicles are compliant, so nothing is added for it.
Town-centre loading windows and one-way system; driveways on the residential streets. Nearest station is Enfield Town (Greater Anglia), 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.
