The SE14 stock around Goldsmiths, University of London is mainly Victorian. ONS records 73% flats, 27% houses and 11,771 households in New Cross.
34% of households rent privately and 30% own, which is why outdoor furniture assembly demand here peaks around tenancy changeovers and completion dates.
New Cross substrates run to precast concrete panels and dense blockwork; locally that also means often with surface conduit — and with 33% one-person households in New Cross, one adult is usually the only pair of hands on site. 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 — measured on the walk in from New Cross (Overground, Southeastern) rather than assumed from a map is the mistake that costs a SE14 customer twice.
Two streets can behave very differently in New Cross: goldsmiths' campus, the Venue and student-heavy Victorian streets. The quote reflects the street the job is actually on. New Cross is outside the Congestion Charge zone but inside ULEZ; our vehicles are compliant, so nothing is added for it.
September student turnover, New Cross Road red route and narrow permit-only streets. Nearest station is New Cross (Overground, Southeastern), and one fitter for bistro sets, parasols and BBQs; two for corner sofa sets, large dining sets and shed bases.
