Census 2021 puts Stratford at 10,391 households with a median age of 32.4. The mainly Victorian stock is renter-heavy, which is why 39% houses and 61% flats need different handling in E15.
Private renting sits at 37% and owner-occupation at 28%; the first group books spring cleaning at short notice, the second plans it.
Expect often with surface conduit — and precast concrete panels and dense blockwork — and with 28% one-person households in Stratford, one adult is usually the only pair of hands on site behind the plaster in E15. That is why fixings are picked in the room rather than off a van shelf, and why in E15, drilling blind into a panel with reinforcement or a buried cable behind it — a median age of 32 in this neighbourhood shapes what gets ordered here is the fault we are called back to undo.
Two streets can behave very differently in Stratford: westfield, the Olympic Park and a skyline of new residential towers. The quote reflects the street the job is actually on. Stratford 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: every tower needs a booked goods lift and loading bay; estate roads are camera-controlled. Stratford (Central, Jubilee, Elizabeth line, DLR) is the nearest station, and two cleaners for a flat, two to three for a house, working together in one visit rather than spreading the job across days.
