In Bellingham and Downham (SE6) the split is 32% flats to 68% houses over 3,351 households, and the stock is post-war.
Because 22% of Bellingham and Downham is privately rented and 33% socially rented, a lot of SE6 work is agreed with a landlord or managing agent rather than the person opening the door.
Walls are precast concrete panels and dense blockwork in SE6, often with surface conduit, the reality on the streets around Beckenham Place Park nearby, so the fixing that matters in Bellingham and Downham is chosen on site — the usual failure here is drilling blind into a panel with reinforcement or a buried cable behind it, as the Bellingham and Downham stock goes, which is why London Borough of Lewisham kerb rules get settled before the van is loaded.
Bellingham and Downham 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 — two large interwar cottage estates built by the LCC, with wide green verges — which is why a SE6 quote is not a Lewisham average.
On access, wide estate roads with kerbside parking and level access — easy for a Luton — one reason two crew and a Luton on a small office or shop unit; three to four crew with a 7.5-tonne vehicle on retail strip-outs, warehouses and racking removals.
