14,239 households sit inside the E6 neighbourhood covering East Ham. The build is mainly Victorian, the tenure profile renter-heavy, and 35% of those homes are flats.
Because 38% of East Ham is privately rented and 20% socially rented, a lot of E6 work is agreed with a landlord or managing agent rather than the person opening the door.
Expect solid London stock brick; locally that also means some of it dry-lined during a later refurbishment, where 42% owner-occupation means the same home is booked again rather than a new tenant each year behind the plaster in E6. That is why fixings are picked in the room rather than off a van shelf, and why East Ham gives us fixings landing in soft lime mortar joints instead of the brick body, and with 38% 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.
East Ham 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 — high Street North's shops, the Victorian town hall and the nature reserve churchyard — which is why a E6 quote is not a Newham average.
Getting to the door matters as much as the job: high street loading windows, terraced streets with permit bays and tight rear alleys. East Ham (District, Hammersmith & City) 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.
