Walk Shepherd's Bush from Westfield London and Shepherd's Bush Market outwards and the mainly Victorian pattern is obvious: 87% of the 9,929 households in W12 live in flats, 13% in houses.
40% of households rent privately and 26% own, which is why shed clearance and removal demand here peaks around tenancy changeovers and completion dates.
Shepherd's Bush substrates run to often with surface conduit, over precast concrete panels and dense blockwork — the reality on the streets around Westfield London and Shepherd's Bush Market. Nothing is drilled until the wall has been sounded, because drilling blind into a panel with reinforcement or a buried cable behind it on these streets — and with 41% one-person households in Shepherd's Bush, one adult is usually the only pair of hands on site is the mistake that costs a W12 customer twice.
Anyone who knows Shepherd's Bush knows the pattern near Westfield London and Shepherd's Bush Market: the green, the market and Westfield's mall on the old exhibition grounds. We plan the W12 visit around it. Shepherd's Bush is outside the Congestion Charge zone but inside ULEZ; our vehicles are compliant, so nothing is added for it.
Mall service yards, Uxbridge Road bus lanes and permit-only side streets. Nearest station is Shepherd's Bush (Central, Overground), 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.
