Walk Lee from The Manor House and its gardens outwards and the mainly Victorian pattern is obvious: 39% of the 6,151 households in SE12 live in flats, 60% in houses.
Private renting sits at 22% 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, over solid London stock brick — and with 22% of homes here privately rented, it sets the booking date as often as the job does, so the fixing that matters in Lee is chosen on site — the usual failure here is fixings landing in soft lime mortar joints instead of the brick body on these streets — the pattern behind 6,151 households inside the SE12 neighbourhood.
Anyone who knows Lee knows the pattern near The Manor House and its gardens: manor House library, Lee Green's shops and streets of interwar houses. We plan the SE12 visit around it. Lee is outside the Congestion Charge zone but inside ULEZ; our vehicles are compliant, so nothing is added for it.
On access, driveways on many streets; Lee High Road is a red route with short bays — 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 Lee (Southeastern).
