In Sidcup (DA15) the split is 46% flats to 54% houses over 8,640 households, and the stock is inter-war.
Because 20% of Sidcup is privately rented and 12% socially rented, a lot of DA15 work is agreed with a landlord or managing agent rather than the person opening the door.
Sidcup substrates run to cavity brickwork outside — and timber stud partitions inside, the pattern behind 8,640 households inside the DA15 neighbourhood. Nothing is drilled until the wall has been sounded, because Sidcup gives us a four-hole bracket with two screws in a stud and two in fresh air, which is what a 46% flat share across the ONS neighbourhood covering Sidcup actually produces is the mistake that costs a DA15 customer twice.
Sidcup 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 — a busy high street, Lamorbey Park and the Rose Bruford campus — which is why a DA15 quote is not a Bexley average.
On access, driveways throughout; the high street is a red route with short bays — one reason two to three operatives for a small or mid-size unit, with access equipment booked separately for fascia and signage above ground floor level. Fitters travelling in use Sidcup (Southeastern).
