Walk Westbourne Park from The Grand Union Canal towpath outwards and the post-war pattern is obvious: 94% of the 3,175 households in W10 live in flats, 6% in houses.
Private renting sits at 16% and owner-occupation at 13%; the first group books shed clearance and removal at short notice, the second plans it.
Westbourne Park substrates run to precast concrete panels and dense blockwork in Westbourne Park, often with surface conduit — which is why Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea kerb rules get settled before the van is loaded. 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 — the pattern behind 3,175 households inside the W10 neighbourhood is the mistake that costs a W10 customer twice.
Anyone who knows Westbourne Park knows the pattern near The Grand Union Canal towpath: canal-side streets between Notting Hill and Paddington with a strong market culture. We plan the W10 visit around it. Westbourne Park sits inside the Congestion Charge zone as well as ULEZ, so both are itemised on the quote rather than absorbed into an hourly rate.
Getting to the door matters as much as the job: canal bridges limit turning, resident bays are permit-only and towpath access is on foot. Westbourne Park (Circle, Hammersmith & City) 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.
