The SE7 stock around Charlton House is mainly Victorian. ONS records 48% flats, 52% houses and 5,904 households in Charlton.
20% of households rent privately and 41% own, which is why cooker cleaning demand here peaks around tenancy changeovers and completion dates.
Charlton substrates run to precast concrete panels and dense blockwork; locally that also means often with surface conduit — where 41% owner-occupation means the same home is booked again rather than a new tenant each year. 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 — the pattern behind 5,904 households inside the SE7 neighbourhood is the mistake that costs a SE7 customer twice.
Two streets can behave very differently in Charlton: jacobean Charlton House, the Valley stadium and riverside retail parks. The quote reflects the street the job is actually on. Charlton is outside the Congestion Charge zone but inside ULEZ; our vehicles are compliant, so nothing is added for it.
On access, match-day restrictions at the Valley, steep village hill and riverside estate roads — one reason one technician for a freestanding cooker; two for 110cm ranges, where the doors alone are a two-person lift. Fitters travelling in use Charlton (Southeastern).
