Walk Eltham from Eltham Palace outwards and the mainly Victorian pattern is obvious: 27% of the 13,732 households in SE9 live in flats, 73% in houses.
15% of households rent privately and 64% own, which is why bath and shower screen fitting demand here peaks around tenancy changeovers and completion dates.
Walls are some of it dry-lined during a later refurbishment, over solid London stock brick — which is why Royal Borough of Greenwich kerb rules get settled before the van is loaded, so the fixing that matters in Eltham is chosen on site — the usual failure here is in SE9, fixings landing in soft lime mortar joints instead of the brick body — with 21% social-rented stock locally, block access is agreed with the estate office first.
Two streets can behave very differently in Eltham: the medieval palace, Art Deco Eltham Palace and streets of 1930s semis. The quote reflects the street the job is actually on. Eltham is outside the Congestion Charge zone but inside ULEZ; our vehicles are compliant, so nothing is added for it.
Driveway parking on most streets; the high street has timed loading only. Nearest station is Eltham (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.
