In Plaistow (E13) the split is 43% flats to 57% houses over 10,311 households, and the stock is mainly Victorian.
The social-housing-led mix here (34% owned, 33% privately rented) means a E13 diary swings between short-notice tenancy deadlines and appointments set a fortnight out.
Plaistow substrates run to precast concrete panels and dense blockwork in Plaistow, often with surface conduit, the pattern behind 10,311 households inside the E13 neighbourhood. Nothing is drilled until the wall has been sounded, because Plaistow gives us drilling blind into a panel with reinforcement or a buried cable behind it, the reality on the streets around Plaistow Park is the mistake that costs a E13 customer twice.
Plaistow is outside the Congestion Charge zone but inside ULEZ; our vehicles are compliant, so nothing is added for it. What shapes the job more is the neighbourhood itself — dense terraced housing, Balaam Street's shops and a strong community feel — which is why a E13 quote is not a Newham average.
Very narrow streets, no off-street parking and permit bays throughout. Nearest station is Plaistow (District, Hammersmith & City), and four operatives with a 7.5t tail-lift vehicle on a standard unit, scaling to six with a second vehicle where the handover date is tight.
