5,538 households sit inside the NW10 neighbourhood covering Harlesden. The build is mainly Victorian, the tenure profile renter-heavy, and 78% of those homes are flats.
The renter-heavy mix here (24% owned, 41% privately rented) means a NW10 diary swings between short-notice tenancy deadlines and appointments set a fortnight out.
Walls are often with surface conduit, over precast concrete panels and dense blockwork, which is what a 78% flat share across the ONS neighbourhood covering Harlesden actually produces, so the fixing that matters in Harlesden is chosen on site — the usual failure here is drilling blind into a panel with reinforcement or a buried cable behind it, as the Harlesden stock goes, a median age of 36 in this neighbourhood shapes what gets ordered here.
Harlesden 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 — jubilee Clock, Caribbean food shops and a working high street — which is why a NW10 quote is not a Brent average.
On access, very busy high street with short loading bays; side streets are narrow and permit-only — one reason two crew travel with the load for a dedicated van; part loads are consolidated at our depot and delivered by the driver running that route. Fitters travelling in use Harlesden (Bakerloo, Overground).
