Walk South Harrow from Alexandra Park, South Harrow outwards and the inter-war pattern is obvious: 55% of the 3,418 households in HA2 live in flats, 45% in houses.
Owner-occupation runs at 45% in South Harrow, so alongside the 37% rental churn there is steady planned work — refurbishments, downsizes and probate clearances booked weeks ahead.
Walls are some of it dry-lined during a later refurbishment — and solid London stock brick — a median age of 36 in this neighbourhood shapes what gets ordered here, so the fixing that matters in South Harrow is chosen on site — the usual failure here is fixings landing in soft lime mortar joints instead of the brick body on these streets — and with 26% one-person households in South Harrow, one adult is usually the only pair of hands on site.
Two streets can behave very differently in South Harrow: a busy shopping parade and residential streets running down to Northolt. The quote reflects the street the job is actually on. South Harrow is outside the Congestion Charge zone but inside ULEZ; our vehicles are compliant, so nothing is added for it.
Driveways on most streets; Northolt Road is busy with short loading bays. Nearest station is South Harrow (Piccadilly), and one fitter for bistro sets, parasols and BBQs; two for corner sofa sets, large dining sets and shed bases.
