The E14 stock around Island Gardens and the Greenwich foot tunnel is post-war. ONS records 84% flats, 16% houses and 12,491 households in Isle of Dogs.
Private renting sits at 45% and owner-occupation at 27%; the first group books restaurant and cafe clearance at short notice, the second plans it.
Expect dot-and-dab plasterboard over blockwork in Isle of Dogs, with metal stud partitions between rooms — with 28% social-rented stock locally, block access is agreed with the estate office first behind the plaster in E14. That is why fixings are picked in the room rather than off a van shelf, and why in E14, short screws that grip only the board and slowly lever it off the dabs — and with 33% one-person households in Isle of Dogs, one adult is usually the only pair of hands on site is the fault we are called back to undo.
Two streets can behave very differently in Isle of Dogs: dock basins ringed by apartment blocks, with Island Gardens facing Greenwich. The quote reflects the street the job is actually on. Isle of Dogs sits inside the Congestion Charge zone as well as ULEZ, so both are itemised on the quote rather than absorbed into an hourly rate.
Single access roads onto the island, dock-side loading bays and lift booking in every block. Nearest station is Crossharbour (DLR), and two to three operatives as standard, with a specialist F-gas engineer booked in for any unit holding refrigerant-charged equipment.
