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 shed assembly demand here peaks around tenancy changeovers and completion dates.
Expect with solid brick on the party and external walls — and lath and plaster over timber studs — a median age of 35 in this neighbourhood shapes what gets ordered here behind the plaster in NW10. That is why fixings are picked in the room rather than off a van shelf, and why which crumbles the key and drops the panel — and a plasterboard plug spun into lime plaster — and with 28% one-person households in Neasden, one adult is usually the only pair of hands on site is the fault we are called back to undo.
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.
Getting to the door matters as much as the job: north Circular access is difficult; side streets are wide with driveways. Neasden (Jubilee) is the nearest station, and one fitter for a small shed on a ready base; two for anything over 8x6ft or where roof panels need lifting together.
