In Ealing (W5) the split is 63% flats to 37% houses over 18,588 households, and the stock is mainly Victorian.
Because 41% of Ealing is privately rented and 14% socially rented, a lot of W5 work is agreed with a landlord or managing agent rather than the person opening the door.
Walls are with metal stud partitions between rooms, over dot-and-dab plasterboard over blockwork, the pattern behind 18,588 households inside the W5 neighbourhood, so the fixing that matters in Ealing is chosen on site — the usual failure here is Ealing gives us short screws that grip only the board and slowly lever it off the dabs, a median age of 37 in this neighbourhood shapes what gets ordered here.
Ealing is outside the Congestion Charge zone but inside ULEZ; our vehicles are compliant, so nothing is added for it. What shapes the job more is the neighbourhood itself — the Queen of the Suburbs — Walpole Park, the studios and a busy Broadway — which is why a W5 quote is not a Ealing average.
Broadway loading windows, permit bays on the villa streets and booked lifts in new blocks. Nearest station is Ealing Broadway (Elizabeth line, Central, District), and one fitter up to 43 inches, two for anything larger or where the screen has to go up a stairwell.
