The SE6 stock around The Catford Cat is mainly Victorian. ONS records 62% flats, 38% houses and 6,981 households in Catford.
Owner-occupation runs at 42% in Catford, so alongside the 33% rental churn there is steady planned work — refurbishments, downsizes and probate clearances booked weeks ahead.
Walls are with metal stud partitions between rooms — and dot-and-dab plasterboard over blockwork — which is why London Borough of Lewisham kerb rules get settled before the van is loaded, so the fixing that matters in Catford is chosen on site — the usual failure here is in SE6, short screws that grip only the board and slowly lever it off the dabs — where 42% owner-occupation means the same home is booked again rather than a new tenant each year.
Two streets can behave very differently in Catford: the fibreglass cat, the Broadway theatre and the Rushey Green shops. The quote reflects the street the job is actually on. Catford 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: south Circular red route, shopping-centre service yards and permit bays behind. Catford (Southeastern) is the nearest station, and two crew and a Luton on a standard timber shed; three crew where the shed is a workshop size, the base is concrete or the only route out is through the house.
