4,526 households sit inside the E11 neighbourhood covering Wanstead. The build is Georgian and early Victorian, the tenure profile owner-occupier-led, and 30% of those homes are flats.
The owner-occupier-led mix here (72% owned, 17% privately rented) means a E11 diary swings between short-notice tenancy deadlines and appointments set a fortnight out.
Wanstead substrates run to some of it dry-lined during a later refurbishment, over solid London stock brick, measured on the walk in from Wanstead (Central) rather than assumed from a map. Nothing is drilled until the wall has been sounded, because Wanstead gives us fixings landing in soft lime mortar joints instead of the brick body, and with 17% of homes here privately rented, it sets the booking date as often as the job does is the mistake that costs a E11 customer twice.
A village high street with Georgian houses, the park and Wanstead Flats. That character decides the practical detail of shed clearance and removal here far more than the borough boundary does. Wanstead is outside the Congestion Charge zone but inside ULEZ; our vehicles are compliant, so nothing is added for it.
On access, conservation-area streets, driveways on most roads and timed loading on the high street — 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 Wanstead (Central).
