Census 2021 puts Mayfair at 3,555 households with a median age of 38.4. The mixed-era stock is renter-heavy, which is why 12% houses and 88% flats need different handling in W1.
Private renting sits at 57% and owner-occupation at 32%; the first group books shed clearance and removal at short notice, the second plans it.
Expect dot-and-dab plasterboard over blockwork in Mayfair, with metal stud partitions between rooms — which is why Westminster City Council kerb rules get settled before the van is loaded behind the plaster in W1. That is why fixings are picked in the room rather than off a van shelf, and why short screws that grip only the board and slowly lever it off the dabs on these streets — where 32% owner-occupation means the same home is booked again rather than a new tenant each year is the fault we are called back to undo.
Anyone who knows Mayfair knows the pattern near Berkeley Square: grosvenor and Berkeley squares, private members' clubs and the flagship stores of Bond Street. We plan the W1 visit around it. Mayfair 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, extremely tight kerbside, mews arches under 2.1m and listed interiors needing floor and stair protection — 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. Fitters travelling in use Bond Street (Central, Jubilee, Elizabeth line).
