Walk Charlton from Charlton House outwards and the mainly Victorian pattern is obvious: 48% of the 5,904 households in SE7 live in flats, 52% in houses.
Private renting sits at 20% and owner-occupation at 41%; the first group books washing machine cleaning at short notice, the second plans it.
Charlton substrates run to precast concrete panels and dense blockwork in Charlton, often with surface conduit — a median age of 36 in this neighbourhood shapes what gets ordered here. Nothing is drilled until the wall has been sounded, because in SE7, drilling blind into a panel with reinforcement or a buried cable behind it — and with 28% one-person households in Charlton, one adult is usually the only pair of hands on site 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; the visit is usually booked alongside an oven or fridge clean to make the London call-out worth it. Fitters travelling in use Charlton (Southeastern).
