Planning a lift and re-lay job in Shepherds Bush
Shepherds Bush is a sizeable town with a mix of semis, terraces and newer estates, and many drives here were first laid decades ago.
Many London streets have controlled parking and narrow frontages, so we measure the car space and the crossover before anything else.
