Census 2021 puts Hampstead at 11,433 households with a median age of 35.4. The Georgian and early Victorian stock is renter-heavy, which is why 17% houses and 84% flats need different handling in NW3.
Owner-occupation runs at 39% in Hampstead, so alongside the 45% rental churn there is steady planned work — refurbishments, downsizes and probate clearances booked weeks ahead.
Walls are lath and plaster over timber studs in Hampstead, with solid brick on the party and external walls — where 39% owner-occupation means the same home is booked again rather than a new tenant each year, so the fixing that matters in Hampstead is chosen on site — the usual failure here is a plasterboard plug spun into lime plaster in Hampstead, which crumbles the key and drops the panel — which is why London Borough of Camden kerb rules get settled before the van is loaded.
Two streets can behave very differently in Hampstead: georgian hill village of narrow lanes, artists' houses and the Heath on its doorstep. The quote reflects the street the job is actually on. Hampstead sits inside the Congestion Charge zone as well as ULEZ, so both are itemised on the quote rather than absorbed into an hourly rate.
Steep, narrow lanes where a 3.5t Luton is the practical maximum; several streets need a shuttle from Whitestone Pond. Nearest station is Hampstead (Northern), and 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.
