In Bexley Village (DA5) the split is 21% flats to 79% houses over 3,319 households, and the stock is mainly Victorian.
The owner-occupier-led mix here (81% owned, 14% privately rented) means a DA5 diary swings between short-notice tenancy deadlines and appointments set a fortnight out.
Expect cavity brickwork outside, over timber stud partitions inside, and with 26% one-person households in Bexley Village, one adult is usually the only pair of hands on site behind the plaster in DA5. That is why fixings are picked in the room rather than off a van shelf, and why a four-hole bracket with two screws in a stud and two in fresh air, as the Bexley Village stock goes, a median age of 43 in this neighbourhood shapes what gets ordered here is the fault we are called back to undo.
A genuine village on the Cray with Hall Place's Tudor gardens next door. That character decides the practical detail of rubbish removal here far more than the borough boundary does. Bexley Village 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: narrow village lanes with a one-way section; driveways on the newer roads. Bexley (Southeastern) is the nearest station, and one person and a car for boot-loads; two crew and a 3.5-tonne Luton for anything from a quarter-load upward.
