Census 2021 puts Stratford at 10,391 households with a median age of 32.4. The mainly Victorian stock is renter-heavy, which is why 39% houses and 61% flats need different handling in E15.
Private renting sits at 37% and owner-occupation at 28%; the first group books school clearance at short notice, the second plans it.
Stratford substrates run to often with surface conduit — and precast concrete panels and dense blockwork — which is what a 61% flat share across the ONS neighbourhood covering Stratford actually produces. Nothing is drilled until the wall has been sounded, because in E15, drilling blind into a panel with reinforcement or a buried cable behind it — with 35% social-rented stock locally, block access is agreed with the estate office first is the mistake that costs a E15 customer twice.
Anyone who knows Stratford knows the pattern near Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park: westfield, the Olympic Park and a skyline of new residential towers. We plan the E15 visit around it. Stratford is outside the Congestion Charge zone but inside ULEZ; our vehicles are compliant, so nothing is added for it.
Getting to the door matters as much as the job: every tower needs a booked goods lift and loading bay; estate roads are camera-controlled. Stratford (Central, Jubilee, Elizabeth line, DLR) is the nearest station, 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.
