Census 2021 puts Peckham at 24,172 households with a median age of 33.2. The Georgian and early Victorian stock is social-housing-led, which is why 28% houses and 72% flats need different handling in SE15.
23% of households rent privately and 31% own, which is why furniture disposal demand here peaks around tenancy changeovers and completion dates.
Walls are precast concrete panels and dense blockwork in Peckham, often with surface conduit — the reality on the streets around Peckham Rye Park and the Bussey Building, so the fixing that matters in Peckham is chosen on site — the usual failure here is in SE15, drilling blind into a panel with reinforcement or a buried cable behind it — measured on the walk in from Peckham Rye (Overground, Thameslink) rather than assumed from a map.
Two streets can behave very differently in Peckham: rye Lane's markets, rooftop bars and Georgian terraces around Peckham Rye. The quote reflects the street the job is actually on. Peckham sits inside the Congestion Charge zone as well as ULEZ, so both are itemised on the quote rather than absorbed into an hourly rate.
Getting to the door matters as much as the job: rye Lane bus gates, LTN filters and terraced streets with permit bays. Peckham Rye (Overground, Thameslink) is the nearest station, and two crew and a Luton van; three where a wardrobe or corner sofa has to come down a shared stairwell.
