The DA1 stock around Crayford Greyhound Stadium is mainly Victorian. ONS records 28% flats, 72% houses and 9,135 households in Crayford.
Owner-occupation runs at 57% in Crayford, so alongside the 16% rental churn there is steady planned work — refurbishments, downsizes and probate clearances booked weeks ahead.
Walls are some of it dry-lined during a later refurbishment, over solid London stock brick — and with 16% of homes here privately rented, it sets the booking date as often as the job does, so the fixing that matters in Crayford is chosen on site — the usual failure here is in DA1, fixings landing in soft lime mortar joints instead of the brick body — with 26% social-rented stock locally, block access is agreed with the estate office first.
Two streets can behave very differently in Crayford: the Cray river, the greyhound stadium and retail parks on the Dartford border. The quote reflects the street the job is actually on. Crayford 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: wide roads, driveways and retail-park service access; the town centre is one-way. Crayford (Southeastern) is the nearest station, and four crew and a supervisor on a standard floor clearance, scaled up for phased overnight work.
