Census 2021 puts Crayford at 9,135 households with a median age of 34.5. The mainly Victorian stock is owner-occupier-led, which is why 72% houses and 28% flats need different handling in DA1.
Private renting sits at 16% and owner-occupation at 57%; the first group books bath and shower screen fitting at short notice, the second plans it.
Walls are solid London stock brick in Crayford, some of it dry-lined during a later refurbishment — where 57% owner-occupation means the same home is booked again rather than a new tenant each year, so the fixing that matters in Crayford is chosen on site — the usual failure here is in DA1, fixings landing in soft lime mortar joints instead of the brick body — measured on the walk in from Crayford (Southeastern) rather than assumed from a map.
Two streets can behave very differently in Crayford: the Cray river, the greyhound stadium and retail parks on the Dartford border. The quote reflects the street the job is actually on. Crayford is outside the Congestion Charge zone but inside ULEZ; our vehicles are compliant, so nothing is added for it.
Wide roads, driveways and retail-park service access; the town centre is one-way. Nearest station is Crayford (Southeastern), and one fitter for a pivot or fixed screen; two for sliding and bi-fold enclosures and any wet-room panel over 190cm, which is awkward to hold plumb alone.
