Walk Angel from The Business Design Centre and Camden Passage outwards and the Georgian and early Victorian pattern is obvious: 75% of the 4,920 households in N1 live in flats, 25% in houses.
Private renting sits at 37% and owner-occupation at 34%; the first group books bath and shower screen fitting at short notice, the second plans it.
Angel substrates run to with solid brick on the party and external walls, over lath and plaster over timber studs — where 34% 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, over a plasterboard plug spun into lime plaster — which is why London Borough of Islington kerb rules get settled before the van is loaded is the mistake that costs a N1 customer twice.
Two streets can behave very differently in Angel: upper Street's bars and theatres, canal basin flats and Georgian squares. The quote reflects the street the job is actually on. Angel sits inside the Congestion Charge zone as well as ULEZ, so both are itemised on the quote rather than absorbed into an hourly rate.
Seven-day CPZ, no off-street parking on the Georgian streets and steep basement access. Nearest station is Angel (Northern), 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.
