Walk East Ham from East Ham Nature Reserve at St Mary Magdalene outwards and the mainly Victorian pattern is obvious: 35% of the 14,239 households in E6 live in flats, 65% in houses.
Private renting sits at 38% and owner-occupation at 42%; the first group books building waste clearance at short notice, the second plans it.
Walls are solid London stock brick; locally that also means some of it dry-lined during a later refurbishment — the pattern behind 14,239 households inside the E6 neighbourhood, so the fixing that matters in East Ham is chosen on site — the usual failure here is in E6, fixings landing in soft lime mortar joints instead of the brick body — which is why London Borough of Newham kerb rules get settled before the van is loaded.
Two streets can behave very differently in East Ham: high Street North's shops, the Victorian town hall and the nature reserve churchyard. The quote reflects the street the job is actually on. East Ham 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: high street loading windows, terraced streets with permit bays and tight rear alleys. East Ham (District, Hammersmith & City) is the nearest station, and two crew and a Luton on most strip-outs; three crew and a tipper where the load is rubble, hardcore or soil and weight rather than volume decides the run.
