Walk Royal Docks from ExCeL London and the IFS Cloud Cable Car outwards and the recent new-build pattern is obvious: 74% of the 2,668 households in E16 live in flats, 26% in houses.
38% of households rent privately and 23% own, which is why outdoor furniture assembly demand here peaks around tenancy changeovers and completion dates.
Royal Docks substrates run to precast concrete panels and dense blockwork in Royal Docks, often with surface conduit — which is what a 74% flat share across the ONS neighbourhood covering Royal Docks actually produces. Nothing is drilled until the wall has been sounded, because in E16, drilling blind into a panel with reinforcement or a buried cable behind it — the pattern behind 2,668 households inside the E16 neighbourhood is the mistake that costs a E16 customer twice.
Two streets can behave very differently in Royal Docks: water on three sides — ExCeL, the cable car and dockside apartment terraces. The quote reflects the street the job is actually on. Royal Docks is outside the Congestion Charge zone but inside ULEZ; our vehicles are compliant, so nothing is added for it.
On access, event congestion around ExCeL, gated estates and mandatory lift booking — one reason one fitter for bistro sets, parasols and BBQs; two for corner sofa sets, large dining sets and shed bases. Fitters travelling in use Royal Victoria (DLR).
