Walk Barkingside from Fullwell Cross Library's drum roof outwards and the inter-war pattern is obvious: 28% of the 7,159 households in IG6 live in flats, 71% in houses.
26% of households rent privately and 63% own, which is why all hanging and mounting services demand here peaks around tenancy changeovers and completion dates.
Expect solid London stock brick in Barkingside, some of it dry-lined during a later refurbishment — the reality on the streets around Fullwell Cross Library's drum roof behind the plaster in IG6. That is why fixings are picked in the room rather than off a van shelf, and why in IG6, fixings landing in soft lime mortar joints instead of the brick body — measured on the walk in from Barkingside (Central) rather than assumed from a map is the fault we are called back to undo.
Two streets can behave very differently in Barkingside: fullwell Cross library and swimming pool, a busy high street and 1930s housing. The quote reflects the street the job is actually on. Barkingside is outside the Congestion Charge zone but inside ULEZ; our vehicles are compliant, so nothing is added for it.
Driveways throughout; the high street has short bays and heavy bus traffic. Nearest station is Barkingside (Central), and one fitter for a typical multi-item visit; two where anything crosses 30kg or has to be carried up a shared stairwell.
