The SE8 stock around Deptford Market Yard is Georgian and early Victorian. ONS records 83% flats, 17% houses and 7,370 households in Deptford.
Private renting sits at 28% and owner-occupation at 24%; the first group books carpet fitting at short notice, the second plans it.
Walls are often with surface conduit — and precast concrete panels and dense blockwork — measured on the walk in from Deptford (Southeastern) rather than assumed from a map, so the fixing that matters in Deptford is chosen on site — the usual failure here is in SE8, drilling blind into a panel with reinforcement or a buried cable behind it — and with 33% one-person households in Deptford, one adult is usually the only pair of hands on site.
Two streets can behave very differently in Deptford: market street, the Albany and the creek-side yards of the old naval dockyard. The quote reflects the street the job is actually on. Deptford is outside the Congestion Charge zone but inside ULEZ; our vehicles are compliant, so nothing is added for it.
Market-day closures on Deptford High Street, narrow creek lanes and estate lifts. Nearest station is Deptford (Southeastern), and 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.
