Greenwich SE10 is Georgian and early Victorian and mixed-tenure: 73% of homes here are flats and 27% are houses, across 17,397 households (ONS Census 2021).
The mixed-tenure mix here (40% owned, 31% privately rented) means a SE10 diary swings between short-notice tenancy deadlines and appointments set a fortnight out.
Expect dot-and-dab plasterboard over blockwork in SE10, with metal stud partitions between rooms, measured on the walk in from Cutty Sark (DLR) rather than assumed from a map behind the plaster in SE10. That is why fixings are picked in the room rather than off a van shelf, and why short screws that grip only the board and slowly lever it off the dabs, as the Greenwich stock goes, and with 31% of homes here privately rented, it sets the booking date as often as the job does is the fault we are called back to undo.
Greenwich 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 — world Heritage centre of the market, the Cutty Sark and the Observatory on the hill — which is why a SE10 quote is not a Greenwich average.
On access, cobbled one-way lanes, market-day closures and listed frontages with no rear access — 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 Cutty Sark (DLR).
