In Belvedere (DA17) the split is 48% flats to 52% houses over 3,983 households, and the stock is mainly Victorian.
The mixed-tenure mix here (50% owned, 29% privately rented) means a DA17 diary swings between short-notice tenancy deadlines and appointments set a fortnight out.
Belvedere substrates run to lath and plaster over timber studs in Belvedere, with solid brick on the party and external walls, which is why London Borough of Bexley kerb rules get settled before the van is loaded. Nothing is drilled until the wall has been sounded, because a plasterboard plug spun into lime plaster in DA17, which crumbles the key and drops the panel, and with 29% of homes here privately rented, it sets the booking date as often as the job does is the mistake that costs a DA17 customer twice.
Riverside industry, Lesnes Abbey woods above and quiet residential streets between. That character decides the practical detail of green waste removal here far more than the borough boundary does. Belvedere is outside the Congestion Charge zone but inside ULEZ; our vehicles are compliant, so nothing is added for it.
Getting to the door matters as much as the job: wide roads with driveways; the riverside industrial roads carry heavy traffic. Belvedere (Southeastern) is the nearest station, and two crew and a Luton on most garden clearances; three crew and a tipper where the load is mainly soil, turf or rubble and weight rather than volume decides the run.
