In Sidcup (DA15) the split is 46% flats to 54% houses over 8,640 households, and the stock is inter-war.
The owner-occupier-led mix here (68% owned, 20% privately rented) means a DA15 diary swings between short-notice tenancy deadlines and appointments set a fortnight out.
Walls are cavity brickwork outside — and timber stud partitions inside, measured on the walk in from Sidcup (Southeastern) rather than assumed from a map, so the fixing that matters in Sidcup is chosen on site — the usual failure here is Sidcup gives us a four-hole bracket with two screws in a stud and two in fresh air, and with 20% of homes here privately rented, it sets the booking date as often as the job does.
Sidcup is outside the Congestion Charge zone but inside ULEZ; our vehicles are compliant, so nothing is added for it. What shapes the job more is the neighbourhood itself — a busy high street, Lamorbey Park and the Rose Bruford campus — which is why a DA15 quote is not a Bexley average.
On access, driveways throughout; the high street is a red route with short bays — one reason a two-person crew and a Luton for flats; three or four crew and two vans for houses with lofts, cellars or garages. Fitters travelling in use Sidcup (Southeastern).
