Walk Charlton from Charlton House outwards and the mainly Victorian pattern is obvious: 48% of the 5,904 households in SE7 live in flats, 52% in houses.
Owner-occupation runs at 41% in Charlton, so alongside the 20% rental churn there is steady planned work — refurbishments, downsizes and probate clearances booked weeks ahead.
Walls are precast concrete panels and dense blockwork; locally that also means often with surface conduit — which is why Royal Borough of Greenwich kerb rules get settled before the van is loaded, so the fixing that matters in Charlton is chosen on site — the usual failure here is drilling blind into a panel with reinforcement or a buried cable behind it on these streets — the pattern behind 5,904 households inside the SE7 neighbourhood.
Two streets can behave very differently in Charlton: jacobean Charlton House, the Valley stadium and riverside retail parks. The quote reflects the street the job is actually on. Charlton is outside the Congestion Charge zone but inside ULEZ; our vehicles are compliant, so nothing is added for it.
Match-day restrictions at the Valley, steep village hill and riverside estate roads. Nearest station is Charlton (Southeastern), and one or two crew depending on access; American-style and full-height units on an upper floor with no lift are booked as a two-person job as standard.
