The NW2 stock around Cricklewood Broadway is mainly Edwardian. ONS records 74% flats, 26% houses and 4,362 households in Cricklewood.
Private renting sits at 47% and owner-occupation at 34%; the first group books wood flooring at short notice, the second plans it.
Expect with metal stud partitions between rooms — and dot-and-dab plasterboard over blockwork — which is what a 74% flat share across the ONS neighbourhood covering Cricklewood actually produces behind the plaster in NW2. That is why fixings are picked in the room rather than off a van shelf, and why in NW2, short screws that grip only the board and slowly lever it off the dabs — measured on the walk in from Cricklewood (Thameslink) rather than assumed from a map is the fault we are called back to undo.
Two streets can behave very differently in Cricklewood: broadway shops on the A5, with Edwardian terraces and the Brent Cross works beyond. The quote reflects the street the job is actually on. Cricklewood is outside the Congestion Charge zone but inside ULEZ; our vehicles are compliant, so nothing is added for it.
On access, a5 red route, permit bays and terraced streets with tight parking — one reason one fitter for a floating fit in a single room; two for glued or secret-nailed floors and any job over 25m² in a day. Fitters travelling in use Cricklewood (Thameslink).
