Census 2021 puts Limehouse at 7,637 households with a median age of 30.3. The Georgian and early Victorian stock is social-housing-led, which is why 17% houses and 83% flats need different handling in E14.
32% of households rent privately and 25% own, which is why blinds and curtain fitting demand here peaks around tenancy changeovers and completion dates.
Walls are precast concrete panels and dense blockwork; locally that also means often with surface conduit — with 42% social-rented stock locally, block access is agreed with the estate office first, so the fixing that matters in Limehouse is chosen on site — the usual failure here is in E14, drilling blind into a panel with reinforcement or a buried cable behind it — the pattern behind 7,637 households inside the E14 neighbourhood.
Two streets can behave very differently in Limehouse: basin marina, Narrow Street's riverside houses and canal moorings. The quote reflects the street the job is actually on. Limehouse 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, narrow Street is single-track with no turning; marina blocks need gate codes and lift booking — one reason one fitter for standard windows; two for bent bay tracks or full-height stairwell blinds. Fitters travelling in use Limehouse (DLR, c2c).
