Census 2021 puts Eltham at 13,732 households with a median age of 40. The mainly Victorian stock is owner-occupier-led, which is why 73% houses and 27% flats need different handling in SE9.
15% of households rent privately and 64% own, which is why washing machine cleaning demand here peaks around tenancy changeovers and completion dates.
Eltham substrates run to some of it dry-lined during a later refurbishment — and solid London stock brick — which is why Royal Borough of Greenwich kerb rules get settled before the van is loaded. Nothing is drilled until the wall has been sounded, because in SE9, fixings landing in soft lime mortar joints instead of the brick body — with 21% social-rented stock locally, block access is agreed with the estate office first is the mistake that costs a SE9 customer twice.
Two streets can behave very differently in Eltham: the medieval palace, Art Deco Eltham Palace and streets of 1930s semis. The quote reflects the street the job is actually on. Eltham is outside the Congestion Charge zone but inside ULEZ; our vehicles are compliant, so nothing is added for it.
On access, driveway parking on most streets; the high street has timed loading only — 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 Eltham (Southeastern).
