In Kilburn (NW6) the split is 93% flats to 7% houses over 8,237 households, and the stock is mainly Victorian.
The renter-heavy mix here (22% owned, 39% privately rented) means a NW6 diary swings between short-notice tenancy deadlines and appointments set a fortnight out.
Kilburn substrates run to precast concrete panels and dense blockwork; locally that also means often with surface conduit, the pattern behind 8,237 households inside the NW6 neighbourhood. Nothing is drilled until the wall has been sounded, because drilling blind into a panel with reinforcement or a buried cable behind it, as the Kilburn stock goes, where 22% owner-occupation means the same home is booked again rather than a new tenant each year is the mistake that costs a NW6 customer twice.
Kilburn sits inside the Congestion Charge zone as well as ULEZ, so both are itemised on the quote rather than absorbed into an hourly rate. What shapes the job more is the neighbourhood itself — a long high road of Irish pubs and independents, flanked by Victorian terraces and estates — which is why a NW6 quote is not a Camden average.
Getting to the door matters as much as the job: kilburn High Road is red-routed; side streets are permit-only with narrow entrances. Kilburn (Jubilee) is the nearest station, 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.
