Census 2021 puts St Paul's at 4,914 households with a median age of 36.9. The post-war stock is renter-heavy, which is why 2% houses and 98% flats need different handling in EC4.
48% of households rent privately and 37% own, which is why commercial cleaning demand here peaks around tenancy changeovers and completion dates.
Expect with metal stud partitions between rooms — and dot-and-dab plasterboard over blockwork — where 37% owner-occupation means the same home is booked again rather than a new tenant each year behind the plaster in EC4. That is why fixings are picked in the room rather than off a van shelf, and why in EC4, short screws that grip only the board and slowly lever it off the dabs — and with 51% one-person households in St Paul's, one adult is usually the only pair of hands on site is the fault we are called back to undo.
Two streets can behave very differently in St Paul's: cathedral precinct, One New Change shopping and the streets running down to the Millennium Bridge. The quote reflects the street the job is actually on. St Paul's sits inside the Congestion Charge zone as well as ULEZ, so both are itemised on the quote rather than absorbed into an hourly rate.
Pedestrianised zones and camera-enforced streets; loading needs a permit from the Corporation. Nearest station is St Paul's (Central), and one to four operatives depending on floor area, with a named supervisor and a mobile cover team for sickness.
