The SE3 stock around Blackheath and the Paragon is Georgian and early Victorian. ONS records 64% flats, 36% houses and 2,884 households in Blackheath.
Private renting sits at 32% and owner-occupation at 51%; the first group books carpet fitting at short notice, the second plans it.
Walls are with solid brick on the party and external walls, over lath and plaster over timber studs — where 51% owner-occupation means the same home is booked again rather than a new tenant each year, so the fixing that matters in Blackheath is chosen on site — the usual failure here is which crumbles the key and drops the panel, over a plasterboard plug spun into lime plaster — the pattern behind 2,884 households inside the SE3 neighbourhood.
Two streets can behave very differently in Blackheath: the heath, the village and Georgian terraces facing open grass. The quote reflects the street the job is actually on. Blackheath is outside the Congestion Charge zone but inside ULEZ; our vehicles are compliant, so nothing is added for it.
On access, conservation-area restrictions, narrow village streets and listed staircases — one reason one fitter for a room or a straight flight; two for large open-plan floors, winder staircases and anything carried up above the third floor without a lift.
