Census 2021 puts Haggerston at 10,083 households with a median age of 33. The mainly Victorian stock is social-housing-led, which is why 11% houses and 89% flats need different handling in E2.
Owner-occupation runs at 22% in Haggerston, so alongside the 27% rental churn there is steady planned work — refurbishments, downsizes and probate clearances booked weeks ahead.
Walls are often with surface conduit — and precast concrete panels and dense blockwork — with 51% social-rented stock locally, block access is agreed with the estate office first, so the fixing that matters in Haggerston is chosen on site — the usual failure here is in E2, drilling blind into a panel with reinforcement or a buried cable behind it — which is what a 89% flat share across the ONS neighbourhood covering Haggerston actually produces.
Two streets can behave very differently in Haggerston: regent's Canal terraces, estate blocks and a fast-changing strip of Kingsland Road. The quote reflects the street the job is actually on. Haggerston 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: canal bridges limit access, permit bays throughout and estate lifts needing booking. Haggerston (Overground) is the nearest station, and one fitter for doors and panels; two where a wall tunnel is core-drilled and the debris has to be carried out of a flat.
