Census 2021 puts Woolwich at 13,241 households with a median age of 33.3. The post-war stock is social-housing-led, which is why 37% houses and 63% flats need different handling in SE18.
25% of households rent privately and 28% own, which is why blinds and curtain fitting demand here peaks around tenancy changeovers and completion dates.
Expect often with surface conduit, over precast concrete panels and dense blockwork — where 28% owner-occupation means the same home is booked again rather than a new tenant each year behind the plaster in SE18. That is why fixings are picked in the room rather than off a van shelf, and why in SE18, drilling blind into a panel with reinforcement or a buried cable behind it — and with 31% one-person households in Woolwich, one adult is usually the only pair of hands on site is the fault we are called back to undo.
Two streets can behave very differently in Woolwich: the Arsenal's converted barracks, a market town centre and the ferry across the river. The quote reflects the street the job is actually on. Woolwich is outside the Congestion Charge zone but inside ULEZ; our vehicles are compliant, so nothing is added for it.
Getting to the door matters as much as the job: royal Arsenal estate permits, town-centre one-way loading and booked lifts in the towers. Woolwich (Elizabeth line, DLR) is the nearest station, and one fitter for standard windows; two for bent bay tracks or full-height stairwell blinds.
