Walk Chadwell Heath from The Wangey Road recreation ground outwards and the mainly Edwardian pattern is obvious: 32% of the 3,930 households in RM6 live in flats, 68% in houses.
Owner-occupation runs at 56% in Chadwell Heath, so alongside the 31% rental churn there is steady planned work — refurbishments, downsizes and probate clearances booked weeks ahead.
Walls are solid London stock brick in RM6, some of it dry-lined during a later refurbishment — and high road is busy with short loading bays; side streets have driveways, so the fixing that matters in Chadwell Heath is chosen on site — the usual failure here is in RM6, fixings landing in soft lime mortar joints instead of the brick body — the pattern behind 3,930 households inside the RM6 neighbourhood.
