Walk Lee from The Manor House and its gardens outwards and the mainly Victorian pattern is obvious: 39% of the 6,151 households in SE12 live in flats, 60% in houses.
22% of households rent privately and 60% own, which is why loft and attic clearance demand here peaks around tenancy changeovers and completion dates.
Expect solid London stock brick in SE12, some of it dry-lined during a later refurbishment — where 60% owner-occupation means the same home is booked again rather than a new tenant each year behind the plaster in SE12. That is why fixings are picked in the room rather than off a van shelf, and why in SE12, fixings landing in soft lime mortar joints instead of the brick body — and with 27% one-person households in Lee, one adult is usually the only pair of hands on site is the fault we are called back to undo.
Two streets can behave very differently in Lee: manor House library, Lee Green's shops and streets of interwar houses. The quote reflects the street the job is actually on. Lee is outside the Congestion Charge zone but inside ULEZ; our vehicles are compliant, so nothing is added for it.
Driveways on many streets; Lee High Road is a red route with short bays. Nearest station is Lee (Southeastern), and two operatives as standard, one in the loft and one on the ladder and ground floor, which is how a loft clear stays safe rather than a one-person job with a rope and a prayer.
