Walk East Ham from East Ham Nature Reserve at St Mary Magdalene outwards and the mainly Victorian pattern is obvious: 35% of the 14,239 households in E6 live in flats, 65% in houses.
Owner-occupation runs at 42% in East Ham, so alongside the 38% rental churn there is steady planned work — refurbishments, downsizes and probate clearances booked weeks ahead.
Expect solid London stock brick in E6, some of it dry-lined during a later refurbishment — which is what a 35% flat share across the ONS neighbourhood covering East Ham actually produces behind the plaster in E6. That is why fixings are picked in the room rather than off a van shelf, and why in E6, fixings landing in soft lime mortar joints instead of the brick body — and with 18% one-person households in East Ham, one adult is usually the only pair of hands on site is the fault we are called back to undo.
Two streets can behave very differently in East Ham: high Street North's shops, the Victorian town hall and the nature reserve churchyard. The quote reflects the street the job is actually on. East Ham is outside the Congestion Charge zone but inside ULEZ; our vehicles are compliant, so nothing is added for it.
High street loading windows, terraced streets with permit bays and tight rear alleys. Nearest station is East Ham (District, Hammersmith & City), 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.
