Census 2021 puts North Woolwich and Silvertown at 2,668 households with a median age of 31.9. The recent new-build stock is renter-heavy, which is why 26% houses and 74% flats need different handling in E16.
Private renting sits at 38% and owner-occupation at 23%; the first group books school clearance at short notice, the second plans it.
Walls are often with surface conduit — and precast concrete panels and dense blockwork — the reality on the streets around The Tate & Lyle refinery and the Thames Barrier view, so the fixing that matters in North Woolwich and Silvertown is chosen on site — the usual failure here is in E16, drilling blind into a panel with reinforcement or a buried cable behind it — the pattern behind 2,668 households inside the E16 neighbourhood.
Two streets can behave very differently in North Woolwich and Silvertown: riverside strip of former sugar and rubber works, now under heavy redevelopment. The quote reflects the street the job is actually on. North Woolwich and Silvertown is outside the Congestion Charge zone but inside ULEZ; our vehicles are compliant, so nothing is added for it.
On access, single access road along the river, construction diversions and gated new blocks — 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.
