Walk Isle of Dogs from Island Gardens and the Greenwich foot tunnel outwards and the post-war pattern is obvious: 84% of the 12,491 households in E14 live in flats, 16% in houses.
Private renting sits at 45% and owner-occupation at 27%; the first group books garden clearance at short notice, the second plans it.
Isle of Dogs substrates run to dot-and-dab plasterboard over blockwork in E14, with metal stud partitions between rooms — the pattern behind 12,491 households inside the E14 neighbourhood. Nothing is drilled until the wall has been sounded, because in E14, short screws that grip only the board and slowly lever it off the dabs — and with 33% one-person households in Isle of Dogs, one adult is usually the only pair of hands on site is the mistake that costs a E14 customer twice.
Two streets can behave very differently in Isle of Dogs: dock basins ringed by apartment blocks, with Island Gardens facing Greenwich. The quote reflects the street the job is actually on. Isle of Dogs sits inside the Congestion Charge zone as well as ULEZ, so both are itemised on the quote rather than absorbed into an hourly rate.
Single access roads onto the island, dock-side loading bays and lift booking in every block. Nearest station is Crossharbour (DLR), and two crew and a Luton or tipper; three where everything has to be carried through a hallway.
