Walk Leytonstone from The Hitchcock mosaics at Leytonstone station outwards and the mainly Victorian pattern is obvious: 47% of the 14,384 households in E11 live in flats, 53% in houses.
33% of households rent privately and 41% own, which is why shed clearance and removal demand here peaks around tenancy changeovers and completion dates.
Walls are with solid brick on the party and external walls, over lath and plaster over timber studs — the reality on the streets around The Hitchcock mosaics at Leytonstone station, so the fixing that matters in Leytonstone is chosen on site — the usual failure here is a plasterboard plug spun into lime plaster in Leytonstone, which crumbles the key and drops the panel — and with 27% one-person households in Leytonstone, one adult is usually the only pair of hands on site.
Anyone who knows Leytonstone knows the pattern near The Hitchcock mosaics at Leytonstone station: hitchcock's birthplace, the Green Man roundabout and streets of Victorian terraces. We plan the E11 visit around it. Leytonstone is outside the Congestion Charge zone but inside ULEZ; our vehicles are compliant, so nothing is added for it.
Getting to the door matters as much as the job: central line bridge height limits, LTN filters and permit bays on the terraces. Leytonstone (Central) is the nearest station, 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.
