The SE10 stock around The Royal Observatory and the Cutty Sark is Georgian and early Victorian. ONS records 73% flats, 27% houses and 17,397 households in Greenwich.
Private renting sits at 31% and owner-occupation at 40%; the first group books mirror and artwork hanging at short notice, the second plans it.
Expect with metal stud partitions between rooms — and dot-and-dab plasterboard over blockwork — which is why Royal Borough of Greenwich kerb rules get settled before the van is loaded behind the plaster in SE10. That is why fixings are picked in the room rather than off a van shelf, and why in SE10, short screws that grip only the board and slowly lever it off the dabs — with 29% social-rented stock locally, block access is agreed with the estate office first is the fault we are called back to undo.
Two streets can behave very differently in Greenwich: world Heritage centre of the market, the Cutty Sark and the Observatory on the hill. The quote reflects the street the job is actually on. Greenwich is outside the Congestion Charge zone but inside ULEZ; our vehicles are compliant, so nothing is added for it.
On access, cobbled one-way lanes, market-day closures and listed frontages with no rear access — one reason one fitter for pictures and mirrors up to about 25kg; two for overmantels, full-length glass and anything carried up a communal stairwell. Fitters travelling in use Cutty Sark (DLR).
