Upton Park E13 is mainly Victorian and renter-heavy: 36% of homes here are flats and 64% are houses, across 2,564 households (ONS Census 2021).
Because 43% of Upton Park is privately rented and 15% socially rented, a lot of E13 work is agreed with a landlord or managing agent rather than the person opening the door.
Expect some of it dry-lined during a later refurbishment — and solid London stock brick, and with 18% one-person households in Upton Park, one adult is usually the only pair of hands on site behind the plaster in E13. That is why fixings are picked in the room rather than off a van shelf, and why fixings landing in soft lime mortar joints instead of the brick body, as the Upton Park stock goes, where 42% owner-occupation means the same home is booked again rather than a new tenant each year is the fault we are called back to undo.
Green Street's sari shops and jewellers — one of London's great shopping streets. That character decides the practical detail of construction site clearance here far more than the borough boundary does. Upton Park is outside the Congestion Charge zone but inside ULEZ; our vehicles are compliant, so nothing is added for it.
On access, green Street loading is tightly timed; side streets are permit-only and narrow — 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.
