Walk Neasden from BAPS Shri Swaminarayan Mandir outwards and the inter-war pattern is obvious: 51% of the 3,586 households in NW10 live in flats, 49% in houses.
47% of households rent privately and 35% own, which is why bath and shower screen fitting demand here peaks around tenancy changeovers and completion dates.
Neasden substrates run to lath and plaster over timber studs in Neasden, with solid brick on the party and external walls — where 35% owner-occupation means the same home is booked again rather than a new tenant each year. Nothing is drilled until the wall has been sounded, because which crumbles the key and drops the panel — and a plasterboard plug spun into lime plaster — measured on the walk in from Neasden (Jubilee) rather than assumed from a map is the mistake that costs a NW10 customer twice.
Two streets can behave very differently in Neasden: the Hindu temple, the North Circular and industrial estates beside 1930s housing. The quote reflects the street the job is actually on. Neasden is outside the Congestion Charge zone but inside ULEZ; our vehicles are compliant, so nothing is added for it.
North Circular access is difficult; side streets are wide with driveways. Nearest station is Neasden (Jubilee), and one fitter for a pivot or fixed screen; two for sliding and bi-fold enclosures and any wet-room panel over 190cm, which is awkward to hold plumb alone.
