The SE12 stock around Grove Park Nature Reserve is inter-war. ONS records 38% flats, 62% houses and 3,420 households in Grove Park.
Private renting sits at 21% and owner-occupation at 60%; the first group books shed clearance and removal at short notice, the second plans it.
Walls are some of it dry-lined during a later refurbishment — and solid London stock brick — which is what a 38% flat share across the ONS neighbourhood covering Grove Park actually produces, so the fixing that matters in Grove Park is chosen on site — the usual failure here is in SE12, fixings landing in soft lime mortar joints instead of the brick body — the pattern behind 3,420 households inside the SE12 neighbourhood.
Two streets can behave very differently in Grove Park: the Baring Hall, the Downham estate edge and the railway-side nature reserve. The quote reflects the street the job is actually on. Grove Park 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; the station approach is narrow at peak times — one reason 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. Fitters travelling in use Grove Park (Southeastern).
