3,683 households sit inside the SE23 neighbourhood covering Honor Oak. The build is mainly Victorian, the tenure profile mixed-tenure, and 54% of those homes are flats.
With 27% private renting against 53% owner-occupied, most SE23 bookings land on a move-in day rather than a weekend.
Honor Oak substrates run to lath and plaster over timber studs in SE23, with solid brick on the party and external walls, and with 30% one-person households in Honor Oak, one adult is usually the only pair of hands on site. 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, the reality on the streets around One Tree Hill is the mistake that costs a SE23 customer twice.
Honor Oak is outside the Congestion Charge zone but inside ULEZ; our vehicles are compliant, so nothing is added for it. What shapes the job more is the neighbourhood itself — one Tree Hill, a small parade of shops and Victorian terraces on the slope — which is why a SE23 quote is not a Lewisham average.
Very steep streets, narrow railway bridges and permit bays near the station. Nearest station is Honor Oak Park (Overground), and two cleaners for a flat, two to three for a house, working together in one visit rather than spreading the job across days.
