Charlton SE7 is mainly Victorian and social-housing-led: 48% of homes here are flats and 52% are houses, across 5,904 households (ONS Census 2021).
The social-housing-led mix here (41% owned, 20% privately rented) means a SE7 diary swings between short-notice tenancy deadlines and appointments set a fortnight out.
Expect precast concrete panels and dense blockwork; locally that also means often with surface conduit, the pattern behind 5,904 households inside the SE7 neighbourhood behind the plaster in SE7. That is why fixings are picked in the room rather than off a van shelf, and why Charlton gives us drilling blind into a panel with reinforcement or a buried cable behind it, which is what a 48% flat share across the ONS neighbourhood covering Charlton actually produces is the fault we are called back to undo.
Charlton 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 — jacobean Charlton House, the Valley stadium and riverside retail parks — which is why a SE7 quote is not a Greenwich average.
On access, match-day restrictions at the Valley, steep village hill and riverside estate roads — one reason two operatives with a 3.5t tipper as standard, scaling to four operatives and a 7.5t vehicle on strip-outs or where the waste has to be barrowed a long way to the frontage.
