By national ratios Newark supports about 30 full-time foundation specialist pros — enough for a real local trade with specialists, not just generalists. Only 24 % of homes are owner-occupied: landlords, building managers and housing associations place much of the work, often as recurring contracts. The housing stock is old for the country, which pushes repair and replacement demand above the national average.
