Walk Crayford from Crayford Greyhound Stadium outwards and the mainly Victorian pattern is obvious: 28% of the 9,135 households in DA1 live in flats, 72% in houses.
16% of households rent privately and 57% own, which is why school clearance demand here peaks around tenancy changeovers and completion dates.
Walls are solid London stock brick; locally that also means some of it dry-lined during a later refurbishment — and with 16% of homes here privately rented, it sets the booking date as often as the job does, so the fixing that matters in Crayford is chosen on site — the usual failure here is in DA1, fixings landing in soft lime mortar joints instead of the brick body — and with 26% one-person households in Crayford, one adult is usually the only pair of hands on site.
Two streets can behave very differently in Crayford: the Cray river, the greyhound stadium and retail parks on the Dartford border. The quote reflects the street the job is actually on. Crayford is outside the Congestion Charge zone but inside ULEZ; our vehicles are compliant, so nothing is added for it.
Wide roads, driveways and retail-park service access; the town centre is one-way. Nearest station is Crayford (Southeastern), and two to four operatives for a single-building clear, scaling to two teams working in parallel where a full primary site has to be finished inside a two-week holiday window.
