The E14 stock around Island Gardens and the Greenwich foot tunnel is post-war. ONS records 84% flats, 16% houses and 12,491 households in Isle of Dogs.
Private renting sits at 45% and owner-occupation at 27%; the first group books shed clearance and removal at short notice, the second plans it.
Walls are with metal stud partitions between rooms — and dot-and-dab plasterboard over blockwork — and with 33% one-person households in Isle of Dogs, one adult is usually the only pair of hands on site, so the fixing that matters in Isle of Dogs is chosen on site — the usual failure here is short screws that grip only the board and slowly lever it off the dabs on these streets — with 28% social-rented stock locally, block access is agreed with the estate office first.
Anyone who knows Isle of Dogs knows the pattern near Island Gardens and the Greenwich foot tunnel: dock basins ringed by apartment blocks, with Island Gardens facing Greenwich. We plan the E14 visit around it. Isle of Dogs sits inside the Congestion Charge zone as well as ULEZ, so both are itemised on the quote rather than absorbed into an hourly rate.
On access, single access roads onto the island, dock-side loading bays and lift booking in every block — 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.
