The NW4 stock around The RAF Museum London is inter-war. ONS records 58% flats, 42% houses and 14,613 households in Hendon.
45% of households rent privately and 43% own, which is why all hanging and mounting services demand here peaks around tenancy changeovers and completion dates.
Expect dot-and-dab plasterboard over blockwork in NW4, with metal stud partitions between rooms — and with 45% of homes here privately rented, it sets the booking date as often as the job does behind the plaster in NW4. That is why fixings are picked in the room rather than off a van shelf, and why in NW4, short screws that grip only the board and slowly lever it off the dabs — measured on the walk in from Hendon Central (Northern) rather than assumed from a map is the fault we are called back to undo.
Two streets can behave very differently in Hendon: university campus, Brent Street's shops and the RAF Museum on the old aerodrome. The quote reflects the street the job is actually on. Hendon is outside the Congestion Charge zone but inside ULEZ; our vehicles are compliant, so nothing is added for it.
On access, a41 and M1 approaches are fast and hard to load from; side streets have driveways — one reason one fitter for a typical multi-item visit; two where anything crosses 30kg or has to be carried up a shared stairwell. Fitters travelling in use Hendon Central (Northern).
