Walk Charlton from Charlton House outwards and the mainly Victorian pattern is obvious: 48% of the 5,904 households in SE7 live in flats, 52% in houses.
Private renting sits at 20% and owner-occupation at 41%; the first group books movers near you at short notice, the second plans it.
Expect often with surface conduit, over precast concrete panels and dense blockwork — a median age of 36 in this neighbourhood shapes what gets ordered here behind the plaster in SE7. That is why fixings are picked in the room rather than off a van shelf, and why drilling blind into a panel with reinforcement or a buried cable behind it on these streets — which is why Royal Borough of Greenwich 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 Charlton: jacobean Charlton House, the Valley stadium and riverside retail parks. The quote reflects the street the job is actually on. Charlton is outside the Congestion Charge zone but inside ULEZ; our vehicles are compliant, so nothing is added for it.
On access, match-day restrictions at the Valley, steep village hill and riverside estate roads — one reason two movers as standard, three where a Victorian stair turn, a heavy item or a tight completion-day schedule makes the extra pair of hands worth the hourly cost.
