Walk Stratford from Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park outwards and the mainly Victorian pattern is obvious: 61% of the 10,391 households in E15 live in flats, 39% in houses.
Private renting sits at 37% and owner-occupation at 28%; the first group books flat-pack assembly at short notice, the second plans it.
Stratford substrates run to precast concrete panels and dense blockwork in E15, often with surface conduit — a median age of 32 in this neighbourhood shapes what gets ordered here. Nothing is drilled until the wall has been sounded, because in E15, drilling blind into a panel with reinforcement or a buried cable behind it — with 35% social-rented stock locally, block access is agreed with the estate office first is the mistake that costs a E15 customer twice.
Two streets can behave very differently in Stratford: westfield, the Olympic Park and a skyline of new residential towers. The quote reflects the street the job is actually on. Stratford is outside the Congestion Charge zone but inside ULEZ; our vehicles are compliant, so nothing is added for it.
Every tower needs a booked goods lift and loading bay; estate roads are camera-controlled. Nearest station is Stratford (Central, Jubilee, Elizabeth line, DLR), and one fitter for most items; two for sliding-door wardrobes, bunk beds and anything that has to be carried up a shared stairwell.
