Walk Hackney Wick from The Lee Navigation and Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park outwards and the post-war pattern is obvious: 69% of the 2,805 households in E9 live in flats, 31% in houses.
28% of households rent privately and 28% own, which is why flat and apartment clearance demand here peaks around tenancy changeovers and completion dates.
Walls are precast concrete panels and dense blockwork in Hackney Wick, often with surface conduit — and with 28% of homes here privately rented, it sets the booking date as often as the job does, so the fixing that matters in Hackney Wick is chosen on site — the usual failure here is drilling blind into a panel with reinforcement or a buried cable behind it on these streets — and with 31% one-person households in Hackney Wick, one adult is usually the only pair of hands on site.
Two streets can behave very differently in Hackney Wick: canal-side studios and warehouse blocks facing the Olympic Park. The quote reflects the street the job is actually on. Hackney Wick is outside the Congestion Charge zone but inside ULEZ; our vehicles are compliant, so nothing is added for it.
Narrow canal bridges, studio blocks with freight lifts and event-day park closures. Nearest station is Hackney Wick (Overground), and two crew and a Luton for a studio or one-bed; three crew and a second van on two- and three-bedroom apartments or any duplex.
