In Notting Hill (W11) the split is 75% flats to 25% houses over 9,720 households, and the stock is mixed-era.
With 43% private renting against 42% owner-occupied, most W11 bookings land on a move-in day rather than a weekend.
Walls are with solid brick on the party and external walls, over lath and plaster over timber studs, which is why Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea kerb rules get settled before the van is loaded, so the fixing that matters in Notting Hill is chosen on site — the usual failure here is a plasterboard plug spun into lime plaster; locally that also means which crumbles the key and drops the panel, and with 43% of homes here privately rented, it sets the booking date as often as the job does.
Pastel terraces, communal garden squares and the carnival's home streets. That character decides the practical detail of shed clearance and removal here far more than the borough boundary does. Notting Hill sits inside the Congestion Charge zone as well as ULEZ, so both are itemised on the quote rather than absorbed into an hourly rate.
On access, carnival weekend closures, resident bays all week and communal gardens with no vehicle access — one reason 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.
