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 gym equipment assembly at short notice, the second plans it.
Expect precast concrete panels and dense blockwork in Deptford, often with surface conduit — which is what a 83% flat share across the ONS neighbourhood covering Deptford actually produces behind the plaster in SE8. That is why fixings are picked in the room rather than off a van shelf, and why in SE8, drilling blind into a panel with reinforcement or a buried cable behind it — which is why London Borough of Lewisham kerb rules get settled before the van is loaded is the fault we are called back to undo.
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.
On access, market-day closures on Deptford High Street, narrow creek lanes and estate lifts — one reason 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. Fitters travelling in use Deptford (Southeastern).
