Walk Wood Green from Alexandra Palace outwards and the mainly Victorian pattern is obvious: 68% of the 5,861 households in N22 live in flats, 32% in houses.
43% of households rent privately and 32% own, which is why all hanging and mounting services demand here peaks around tenancy changeovers and completion dates.
Walls are with metal stud partitions between rooms, over dot-and-dab plasterboard over blockwork — and with 32% one-person households in Wood Green, one adult is usually the only pair of hands on site, so the fixing that matters in Wood Green is chosen on site — the usual failure here is in N22, short screws that grip only the board and slowly lever it off the dabs — which is why London Borough of Haringey kerb rules get settled before the van is loaded.
Two streets can behave very differently in Wood Green: the Mall shopping centre, Turkish and Greek high street and Alexandra Park behind. The quote reflects the street the job is actually on. Wood Green is outside the Congestion Charge zone but inside ULEZ; our vehicles are compliant, so nothing is added for it.
Getting to the door matters as much as the job: high Road red route, shopping-centre service yards and estate lift booking. Wood Green (Piccadilly) is the nearest station, and one fitter for a typical multi-item visit; two where anything crosses 30kg or has to be carried up a shared stairwell.
