Walk Charlton from Charlton House outwards and the mainly Victorian pattern is obvious: 48% of the 5,904 households in SE7 live in flats, 52% in houses.
Private renting sits at 20% and owner-occupation at 41%; the first group books gym equipment assembly at short notice, the second plans it.
Charlton substrates run to often with surface conduit — and precast concrete panels and dense blockwork — with 38% social-rented stock locally, block access is agreed with the estate office first. Nothing is drilled until the wall has been sounded, because drilling blind into a panel with reinforcement or a buried cable behind it on these streets — and with 28% one-person households in Charlton, one adult is usually the only pair of hands on site is the mistake that costs a SE7 customer twice.
Anyone who knows Charlton knows the pattern near Charlton House: jacobean Charlton House, the Valley stadium and riverside retail parks. We plan the SE7 visit around it. Charlton 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: match-day restrictions at the Valley, steep village hill and riverside estate roads. Charlton (Southeastern) is the nearest station, and one fitter for bikes, benches and rowers; two for treadmills, racks and multi-gyms, or wherever the machine must be carried above the ground floor.
