The E15 stock around Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park is mainly Victorian. ONS records 61% flats, 39% houses and 10,391 households in Stratford.
Owner-occupation runs at 28% in Stratford, so alongside the 37% rental churn there is steady planned work — refurbishments, downsizes and probate clearances booked weeks ahead.
Stratford substrates run to often with surface conduit — and precast concrete panels and dense blockwork — which is what a 61% flat share across the ONS neighbourhood covering Stratford actually produces. Nothing is drilled until the wall has been sounded, because drilling blind into a panel with reinforcement or a buried cable behind it on these streets — which is why London Borough of Newham kerb rules get settled before the van is loaded is the mistake that costs a E15 customer twice.
Two streets can behave very differently in Stratford: westfield, the Olympic Park and a skyline of new residential towers. The quote reflects the street the job is actually on. Stratford 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: every tower needs a booked goods lift and loading bay; estate roads are camera-controlled. Stratford (Central, Jubilee, Elizabeth line, DLR) is the nearest station, and one technician with a van-mounted dip tank; two where a barbecue has to be carried through a flat to reach a terrace.
