Walk Manor Park from The City of London Cemetery outwards and the mainly Edwardian pattern is obvious: 47% of the 4,697 households in E12 live in flats, 53% in houses.
Private renting sits at 42% and owner-occupation at 35%; the first group books patio and decking cleaning at short notice, the second plans it.
Manor Park substrates run to with solid brick on the party and external walls, over lath and plaster over timber studs — a median age of 33 in this neighbourhood shapes what gets ordered here. Nothing is drilled until the wall has been sounded, because which crumbles the key and drops the panel, over a plasterboard plug spun into lime plaster — and with 20% one-person households in Manor Park, one adult is usually the only pair of hands on site is the mistake that costs a E12 customer twice.
Anyone who knows Manor Park knows the pattern near The City of London Cemetery: quiet terraced streets between Wanstead Flats and the City of London Cemetery. We plan the E12 visit around it. Manor Park is outside the Congestion Charge zone but inside ULEZ; our vehicles are compliant, so nothing is added for it.
Romford Road red route, narrow side streets and permit bays near the station. Nearest station is Manor Park (Elizabeth line), and one technician for a standard garden patio or deck; two for a roof terrace or balcony where water has to be carried up by bowser and furniture moved through a lift or stairwell.
