Walk Enfield Town from Enfield Market Place outwards and the mainly Victorian pattern is obvious: 47% of the 6,789 households in EN2 live in flats, 53% in houses.
Private renting sits at 29% and owner-occupation at 61%; the first group books moving van hire at short notice, the second plans it.
Expect lath and plaster over timber studs; locally that also means with solid brick on the party and external walls — and with 29% of homes here privately rented, it sets the booking date as often as the job does behind the plaster in EN2. That is why fixings are picked in the room rather than off a van shelf, and why which crumbles the key and drops the panel — and a plasterboard plug spun into lime plaster — which is why London Borough of Enfield kerb rules get settled before the van is loaded is the fault we are called back to undo.
Two streets can behave very differently in Enfield Town: market square, Palace Gardens shopping and the New River running through. The quote reflects the street the job is actually on. Enfield Town is outside the Congestion Charge zone but inside ULEZ; our vehicles are compliant, so nothing is added for it.
Getting to the door matters as much as the job: town-centre loading windows and one-way system; driveways on the residential streets. Enfield Town (Greater Anglia) is the nearest station, and one driver as standard on all three van sizes, with a second loader added by the hour where stairs, a lift booking or heavy furniture make a solo load impractical.
