Walk Limehouse from Limehouse Basin outwards and the Georgian and early Victorian pattern is obvious: 83% of the 7,637 households in E14 live in flats, 17% in houses.
Private renting sits at 32% and owner-occupation at 25%; the first group books warehouse clearance at short notice, the second plans it.
Expect often with surface conduit, over precast concrete panels and dense blockwork — which is why London Borough of Tower Hamlets kerb rules get settled before the van is loaded behind the plaster in E14. That is why fixings are picked in the room rather than off a van shelf, and why in E14, drilling blind into a panel with reinforcement or a buried cable behind it — with 42% social-rented stock locally, block access is agreed with the estate office first is the fault we are called back to undo.
Two streets can behave very differently in Limehouse: basin marina, Narrow Street's riverside houses and canal moorings. The quote reflects the street the job is actually on. Limehouse sits inside the Congestion Charge zone as well as ULEZ, so both are itemised on the quote rather than absorbed into an hourly rate.
Narrow Street is single-track with no turning; marina blocks need gate codes and lift booking. Nearest station is Limehouse (DLR, c2c), 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.
