Census 2021 puts Liverpool Street at 4,914 households with a median age of 36.9. The period conversion stock is renter-heavy, which is why 2% houses and 98% flats need different handling in EC2.
Private renting sits at 48% and owner-occupation at 37%; the first group books bath and shower screen fitting at short notice, the second plans it.
Walls are dot-and-dab plasterboard over blockwork in EC2, with metal stud partitions between rooms — with 15% social-rented stock locally, block access is agreed with the estate office first, so the fixing that matters in Liverpool Street is chosen on site — the usual failure here is in EC2, short screws that grip only the board and slowly lever it off the dabs — which is what a 98% flat share across the ONS neighbourhood covering Liverpool Street actually produces.
Two streets can behave very differently in Liverpool Street: commuter gateway with Broadgate offices on one side and Spitalfields market on the other. The quote reflects the street the job is actually on. Liverpool Street 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, broadgate estate has its own access rules and booked bays; surrounding streets are red-route controlled — one reason 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. Fitters travelling in use Liverpool Street (Central, Circle, Elizabeth line, National Rail).
