Walk Greenwich Peninsula from The O2 Arena outwards and the recent new-build pattern is obvious: 78% of the 3,769 households in SE10 live in flats, 22% in houses.
25% of households rent privately and 44% own, which is why commercial cleaning demand here peaks around tenancy changeovers and completion dates.
Expect precast concrete panels and dense blockwork; locally that also means often with surface conduit — which is what a 78% flat share across the ONS neighbourhood covering Greenwich Peninsula actually produces behind the plaster in SE10. That is why fixings are picked in the room rather than off a van shelf, and why in SE10, drilling blind into a panel with reinforcement or a buried cable behind it — and with 32% one-person households in Greenwich Peninsula, 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 Greenwich Peninsula: the O2, the cable car and a new district of towers on the old gasworks. The quote reflects the street the job is actually on. Greenwich Peninsula 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: event-day congestion, estate permits and strict lift-booking windows in every block. North Greenwich (Jubilee) is the nearest station, and one to four operatives depending on floor area, with a named supervisor and a mobile cover team for sickness.
