Walk Wanstead from Wanstead Park and the Temple outwards and the Georgian and early Victorian pattern is obvious: 30% of the 4,526 households in E11 live in flats, 70% in houses.
17% of households rent privately and 72% own, which is why upholstery cleaning demand here peaks around tenancy changeovers and completion dates.
Walls are some of it dry-lined during a later refurbishment — and solid London stock brick — where 72% owner-occupation means the same home is booked again rather than a new tenant each year, so the fixing that matters in Wanstead is chosen on site — the usual failure here is fixings landing in soft lime mortar joints instead of the brick body on these streets — the pattern behind 4,526 households inside the E11 neighbourhood.
Two streets can behave very differently in Wanstead: a village high street with Georgian houses, the park and Wanstead Flats. The quote reflects the street the job is actually on. Wanstead is outside the Congestion Charge zone but inside ULEZ; our vehicles are compliant, so nothing is added for it.
On access, conservation-area streets, driveways on most roads and timed loading on the high street — one reason one technician with a portable extraction machine — the standard kit for London flats, where a truck-mount hose cannot reach a fourth floor. Fitters travelling in use Wanstead (Central).
