In Upton Park (E13) the split is 36% flats to 64% houses over 2,564 households, and the stock is mainly Victorian.
The renter-heavy mix here (42% owned, 43% privately rented) means a E13 diary swings between short-notice tenancy deadlines and appointments set a fortnight out.
Expect some of it dry-lined during a later refurbishment, over solid London stock brick, a median age of 33 in this neighbourhood shapes what gets ordered here behind the plaster in E13. That is why fixings are picked in the room rather than off a van shelf, and why fixings landing in soft lime mortar joints instead of the brick body, as the Upton Park stock goes, where 42% owner-occupation means the same home is booked again rather than a new tenant each year is the fault we are called back to undo.
Upton Park is outside the Congestion Charge zone but inside ULEZ; our vehicles are compliant, so nothing is added for it. What shapes the job more is the neighbourhood itself — green Street's sari shops and jewellers — one of London's great shopping streets — which is why a E13 quote is not a Newham average.
Green Street loading is tightly timed; side streets are permit-only and narrow. Nearest station is Upton Park (District, Hammersmith & City), and one fitter for a typical multi-item visit; two where anything crosses 30kg or has to be carried up a shared stairwell.
