Census 2021 puts Monument and Eastcheap at 4,914 households with a median age of 36.9. The recent new-build stock is renter-heavy, which is why 2% houses and 98% flats need different handling in EC3.
Private renting sits at 48% and owner-occupation at 37%; the first group books hotel clearance at short notice, the second plans it.
Walls are with metal stud partitions between rooms, over dot-and-dab plasterboard over blockwork — measured on the walk in from Monument (Circle, District) rather than assumed from a map, so the fixing that matters in Monument and Eastcheap is chosen on site — the usual failure here is short screws that grip only the board and slowly lever it off the dabs on these streets — with 15% social-rented stock locally, block access is agreed with the estate office first.
Two streets can behave very differently in Monument and Eastcheap: riverside City streets between London Bridge and the Tower, dense with narrow lanes. The quote reflects the street the job is actually on. Monument and Eastcheap sits inside the Congestion Charge zone as well as ULEZ, so both are itemised on the quote rather than absorbed into an hourly rate.
Lower Thames Street is a red route; the lanes behind take a small van only. Nearest station is Monument (Circle, District), and two to four operatives depending on room count, scaling to a second team on a full-floor or full-closure clearance where the schedule is set by a redevelopment date.
