Walk Welling from Danson Park and Danson House outwards and the inter-war pattern is obvious: 19% of the 3,815 households in DA16 live in flats, 81% in houses.
16% of households rent privately and 78% own, which is why school clearance demand here peaks around tenancy changeovers and completion dates.
Walls are cavity brickwork outside — and timber stud partitions inside — and with 25% one-person households in Welling, one adult is usually the only pair of hands on site, so the fixing that matters in Welling is chosen on site — the usual failure here is a four-hole bracket with two screws in a stud and two in fresh air on these streets — a median age of 40 in this neighbourhood shapes what gets ordered here.
Anyone who knows Welling knows the pattern near Danson Park and Danson House: a long shopping high street with Danson Park's lake just to the east. We plan the DA16 visit around it. Welling is outside the Congestion Charge zone but inside ULEZ; our vehicles are compliant, so nothing is added for it.
On access, driveways on almost every street; the high street has timed bays — one reason 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. Fitters travelling in use Welling (Southeastern).
