3,519 households sit inside the N20 neighbourhood covering Totteridge. The build is mixed-era, the tenure profile owner-occupier-led, and 12% of those homes are flats.
Because 14% of Totteridge is privately rented and 11% socially rented, a lot of N20 work is agreed with a landlord or managing agent rather than the person opening the door.
Walls are timber stud partitions inside in Totteridge, cavity brickwork outside, which is why London Borough of Barnet kerb rules get settled before the van is loaded, so the fixing that matters in Totteridge is chosen on site — the usual failure here is a four-hole bracket with two screws in a stud and two in fresh air, as the Totteridge stock goes, where 75% owner-occupation means the same home is booked again rather than a new tenant each year.
Totteridge 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 — green-belt lane of large houses, paddocks and a village pond — which is why a N20 quote is not a Barnet average.
On access, long gravel drives, narrow lanes without passing places and gated entrances — one reason two movers as standard, three where a Victorian stair turn, a heavy item or a tight completion-day schedule makes the extra pair of hands worth the hourly cost.
