The SE13 stock around Lewisham Market on the High Street is mainly Victorian. ONS records 75% flats, 25% houses and 3,987 households in Lewisham.
Private renting sits at 33% and owner-occupation at 32%; the first group books cooker cleaning at short notice, the second plans it.
Walls are precast concrete panels and dense blockwork in Lewisham, often with surface conduit — and with 33% of homes here privately rented, it sets the booking date as often as the job does, so the fixing that matters in Lewisham is chosen on site — the usual failure here is in SE13, drilling blind into a panel with reinforcement or a buried cable behind it — and with 36% one-person households in Lewisham, one adult is usually the only pair of hands on site.
Two streets can behave very differently in Lewisham: the market, the shopping centre and a cluster of new residential towers. The quote reflects the street the job is actually on. Lewisham 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: roundabout red routes, market-day loading limits and booked lifts in the towers. Lewisham (DLR, Southeastern) is the nearest station, and one technician for a freestanding cooker; two for 110cm ranges, where the doors alone are a two-person lift.
