Walk Belvedere from Lesnes Abbey Woods outwards and the mainly Victorian pattern is obvious: 48% of the 3,983 households in DA17 live in flats, 52% in houses.
Private renting sits at 29% and owner-occupation at 50%; the first group books commercial cleaning at short notice, the second plans it.
Walls are with solid brick on the party and external walls, over lath and plaster over timber studs — which is why London Borough of Bexley kerb rules get settled before the van is loaded, so the fixing that matters in Belvedere is chosen on site — the usual failure here is which crumbles the key and drops the panel — and a plasterboard plug spun into lime plaster — and with 28% one-person households in Belvedere, one adult is usually the only pair of hands on site.
Two streets can behave very differently in Belvedere: riverside industry, Lesnes Abbey woods above and quiet residential streets between. The quote reflects the street the job is actually on. Belvedere is outside the Congestion Charge zone but inside ULEZ; our vehicles are compliant, so nothing is added for it.
Wide roads with driveways; the riverside industrial roads carry heavy traffic. Nearest station is Belvedere (Southeastern), and one to four operatives depending on floor area, with a named supervisor and a mobile cover team for sickness.
