Census 2021 puts Greenwich at 17,397 households with a median age of 32.6. The Georgian and early Victorian stock is mixed-tenure, which is why 27% houses and 73% flats need different handling in SE10.
31% of households rent privately and 40% own, which is why blinds and curtain fitting demand here peaks around tenancy changeovers and completion dates.
Walls are dot-and-dab plasterboard over blockwork in Greenwich, with metal stud partitions between rooms — and with 31% of homes here privately rented, it sets the booking date as often as the job does, so the fixing that matters in Greenwich is chosen on site — the usual failure here is in SE10, short screws that grip only the board and slowly lever it off the dabs — and with 32% one-person households in Greenwich, one adult is usually the only pair of hands on site.
Two streets can behave very differently in Greenwich: world Heritage centre of the market, the Cutty Sark and the Observatory on the hill. The quote reflects the street the job is actually on. Greenwich is outside the Congestion Charge zone but inside ULEZ; our vehicles are compliant, so nothing is added for it.
On access, cobbled one-way lanes, market-day closures and listed frontages with no rear access — one reason one fitter for standard windows; two for bent bay tracks or full-height stairwell blinds. Fitters travelling in use Cutty Sark (DLR).
