In Limehouse (E14) the split is 83% flats to 17% houses over 7,637 households, and the stock is Georgian and early Victorian.
The social-housing-led mix here (25% owned, 32% privately rented) means a E14 diary swings between short-notice tenancy deadlines and appointments set a fortnight out.
Walls are precast concrete panels and dense blockwork in Limehouse, often with surface conduit, which is why London Borough of Tower Hamlets kerb rules get settled before the van is loaded, so the fixing that matters in Limehouse is chosen on site — the usual failure here is Limehouse gives us drilling blind into a panel with reinforcement or a buried cable behind it, a median age of 30 in this neighbourhood shapes what gets ordered here.
Limehouse sits inside the Congestion Charge zone as well as ULEZ, so both are itemised on the quote rather than absorbed into an hourly rate. What shapes the job more is the neighbourhood itself — basin marina, Narrow Street's riverside houses and canal moorings — which is why a E14 quote is not a Tower Hamlets average.
Getting to the door matters as much as the job: narrow Street is single-track with no turning; marina blocks need gate codes and lift booking. Limehouse (DLR, c2c) 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.
