Census 2021 puts Mayfair at 3,555 households with a median age of 38.4. The mixed-era stock is renter-heavy, which is why 12% houses and 88% flats need different handling in W1.
Private renting sits at 57% and owner-occupation at 32%; the first group books mirror and artwork hanging at short notice, the second plans it.
Mayfair substrates run to dot-and-dab plasterboard over blockwork in W1, with metal stud partitions between rooms — where 32% 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 in W1, short screws that grip only the board and slowly lever it off the dabs — measured on the walk in from Bond Street (Central, Jubilee, Elizabeth line) rather than assumed from a map is the mistake that costs a W1 customer twice.
Two streets can behave very differently in Mayfair: grosvenor and Berkeley squares, private members' clubs and the flagship stores of Bond Street. The quote reflects the street the job is actually on. Mayfair sits inside the Congestion Charge zone as well as ULEZ, so both are itemised on the quote rather than absorbed into an hourly rate.
Extremely tight kerbside, mews arches under 2.1m and listed interiors needing floor and stair protection. Nearest station is Bond Street (Central, Jubilee, Elizabeth line), and one fitter for pictures and mirrors up to about 25kg; two for overmantels, full-length glass and anything carried up a communal stairwell.
