In Manor Park (E12) the split is 47% flats to 53% houses over 4,697 households, and the stock is mainly Edwardian.
Because 42% of Manor Park is privately rented and 23% socially rented, a lot of E12 work is agreed with a landlord or managing agent rather than the person opening the door.
Manor Park substrates run to with solid brick on the party and external walls, over lath and plaster over timber studs, which is why London Borough of Newham kerb rules get settled before the van is loaded. Nothing is drilled until the wall has been sounded, because a plasterboard plug spun into lime plaster; locally that also means which crumbles the key and drops the panel, which is what a 47% flat share across the ONS neighbourhood covering Manor Park actually produces is the mistake that costs a E12 customer twice.
Manor Park 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 — quiet terraced streets between Wanstead Flats and the City of London Cemetery — which is why a E12 quote is not a Newham average.
Getting to the door matters as much as the job: romford Road red route, narrow side streets and permit bays near the station. Manor Park (Elizabeth line) is the nearest station, and two to three operatives as standard, with a specialist F-gas engineer booked in for any unit holding refrigerant-charged equipment.
