Walk Catford from The Catford Cat outwards and the mainly Victorian pattern is obvious: 62% of the 6,981 households in SE6 live in flats, 38% in houses.
Private renting sits at 33% and owner-occupation at 42%; the first group books wood flooring at short notice, the second plans it.
Walls are with metal stud partitions between rooms — and dot-and-dab plasterboard over blockwork — where 42% owner-occupation means the same home is booked again rather than a new tenant each year, so the fixing that matters in Catford is chosen on site — the usual failure here is in SE6, short screws that grip only the board and slowly lever it off the dabs — measured on the walk in from Catford (Southeastern) rather than assumed from a map.
Two streets can behave very differently in Catford: the fibreglass cat, the Broadway theatre and the Rushey Green shops. The quote reflects the street the job is actually on. Catford is outside the Congestion Charge zone but inside ULEZ; our vehicles are compliant, so nothing is added for it.
On access, south Circular red route, shopping-centre service yards and permit bays behind — one reason one fitter for a floating fit in a single room; two for glued or secret-nailed floors and any job over 25m² in a day. Fitters travelling in use Catford (Southeastern).
