Walk Cranham from Cranham Marsh nature reserve outwards and the mixed-era pattern is obvious: 12% of the 5,823 households in RM14 live in flats, 88% in houses.
10% of households rent privately and 86% own, which is why school clearance demand here peaks around tenancy changeovers and completion dates.
Walls are timber stud partitions inside in RM14, cavity brickwork outside — a median age of 45 in this neighbourhood shapes what gets ordered here, so the fixing that matters in Cranham 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 — and the easiest access in london — wide roads, drives and level thresholds.
Anyone who knows Cranham knows the pattern near Cranham Marsh nature reserve: quiet green-belt-edge suburb of bungalows and detached homes. We plan the RM14 visit around it. Cranham is outside the Congestion Charge zone but inside ULEZ; our vehicles are compliant, so nothing is added for it.
On access, the easiest access in London — wide roads, drives and level thresholds — 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.
