Walk Charlton from Charlton House outwards and the mainly Victorian pattern is obvious: 48% of the 5,904 households in SE7 live in flats, 52% in houses.
Private renting sits at 20% and owner-occupation at 41%; the first group books retail and shop clearance at short notice, the second plans it.
Charlton substrates run to precast concrete panels and dense blockwork in SE7, often with surface conduit — a median age of 36 in this neighbourhood shapes what gets ordered here. Nothing is drilled until the wall has been sounded, because drilling blind into a panel with reinforcement or a buried cable behind it on these streets — with 38% social-rented stock locally, block access is agreed with the estate office first is the mistake that costs a SE7 customer twice.
Two streets can behave very differently in Charlton: jacobean Charlton House, the Valley stadium and riverside retail parks. The quote reflects the street the job is actually on. Charlton is outside the Congestion Charge zone but inside ULEZ; our vehicles are compliant, so nothing is added for it.
On access, match-day restrictions at the Valley, steep village hill and riverside estate roads — 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 Charlton (Southeastern).
