The E13 stock around Queen's Market on Green Street is mainly Victorian. ONS records 36% flats, 64% houses and 2,564 households in Upton Park.
43% of households rent privately and 42% own, which is why rubbish removal demand here peaks around tenancy changeovers and completion dates.
Expect solid London stock brick; locally that also means some of it dry-lined during a later refurbishment — which is what a 36% flat share across the ONS neighbourhood covering Upton Park actually produces behind the plaster in E13. That is why fixings are picked in the room rather than off a van shelf, and why in E13, fixings landing in soft lime mortar joints instead of the brick body — and with 18% one-person households in Upton Park, one adult is usually the only pair of hands on site is the fault we are called back to undo.
Two streets can behave very differently in Upton Park: green Street's sari shops and jewellers — one of London's great shopping streets. The quote reflects the street the job is actually on. Upton Park is outside the Congestion Charge zone but inside ULEZ; our vehicles are compliant, so nothing is added for it.
On access, green Street loading is tightly timed; side streets are permit-only and narrow — one reason two crew and a 3.5-tonne Luton as standard; heavy rubble loads run below the legal weight limit rather than filling the space. Fitters travelling in use Upton Park (District, Hammersmith & City).
