Walk Belvedere from Crossness Pumping Station and Belvedere Splash Park outwards and the mainly Victorian pattern is obvious: 48% of the 3,983 households in DA17 live in flats, 52% in houses.
29% of households rent privately and 50% own, which is why pathway jet washing demand here peaks around tenancy changeovers and completion dates.
Walls are lath and plaster over timber studs; locally that also means with solid brick on the party and external walls — the reality on the streets around Crossness Pumping Station and Belvedere Splash Park, 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 — which is why London Borough of Bexley kerb rules get settled before the van is loaded.
Anyone who knows Belvedere knows the pattern near Crossness Pumping Station and Belvedere Splash Park: riverside industry, Lesnes Abbey woods above and quiet residential streets between. We plan the DA17 visit around it. Belvedere is outside the Congestion Charge zone but inside ULEZ; our vehicles are compliant, so nothing is added for it.
On access, wide roads with driveways; the riverside industrial roads carry heavy traffic — one reason one technician for a private path; two where a communal walkway has to stay open to residents while the work is done, so one can manage access while the other washes.
