Census 2021 puts Mottingham at 3,789 households with a median age of 36.9. The inter-war stock is social-housing-led, which is why 75% houses and 25% flats need different handling in SE9.
Private renting sits at 17% and owner-occupation at 50%; the first group books rubbish removal at short notice, the second plans it.
Expect often with surface conduit, over precast concrete panels and dense blockwork — where 50% owner-occupation means the same home is booked again rather than a new tenant each year behind the plaster in SE9. That is why fixings are picked in the room rather than off a van shelf, and why in SE9, drilling blind into a panel with reinforcement or a buried cable behind it — which is why London Borough of Bromley kerb rules get settled before the van is loaded is the fault we are called back to undo.
Two streets can behave very differently in Mottingham: a quiet interwar suburb between Eltham and Chislehurst. The quote reflects the street the job is actually on. Mottingham is outside the Congestion Charge zone but inside ULEZ; our vehicles are compliant, so nothing is added for it.
On access, wide roads and driveways throughout, with easy turning for a Luton — one reason one person and a car for boot-loads; two crew and a 3.5-tonne Luton for anything from a quarter-load upward. Fitters travelling in use Mottingham (Southeastern).
