Walk Lewisham from Lewisham Market on the High Street outwards and the mainly Victorian pattern is obvious: 75% of the 3,987 households in SE13 live in flats, 25% in houses.
33% of households rent privately and 32% own, which is why end of tenancy clearance demand here peaks around tenancy changeovers and completion dates.
Lewisham substrates run to often with surface conduit — and precast concrete panels and dense blockwork — a median age of 35 in this neighbourhood shapes what gets ordered here. Nothing is drilled until the wall has been sounded, because drilling blind into a panel with reinforcement or a buried cable behind it on these streets — measured on the walk in from Lewisham (DLR, Southeastern) rather than assumed from a map is the mistake that costs a SE13 customer twice.
Two streets can behave very differently in Lewisham: the market, the shopping centre and a cluster of new residential towers. The quote reflects the street the job is actually on. Lewisham 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: roundabout red routes, market-day loading limits and booked lifts in the towers. Lewisham (DLR, Southeastern) is the nearest station, and two operatives with a Luton van as standard, scaling to a second vehicle for a full three-bed or a property with no lift.
