In Chadwell Heath (RM6) the split is 32% flats to 68% houses over 3,930 households, and the stock is mainly Edwardian.
With 31% private renting against 56% owner-occupied, most RM6 bookings land on a move-in day rather than a weekend.
Walls are some of it dry-lined during a later refurbishment, over solid London stock brick, where 56% owner-occupation means the same home is booked again rather than a new tenant each year, so the fixing that matters in Chadwell Heath is chosen on site — the usual failure here is fixings landing in soft lime mortar joints instead of the brick body, as the Chadwell Heath stock goes, the reality on the streets around The Wangey Road recreation ground.
Chadwell Heath is outside the Congestion Charge zone but inside ULEZ; our vehicles are compliant, so nothing is added for it. What shapes the job more is the neighbourhood itself — high Road shops on the Roman road, with interwar semis on both sides — which is why a RM6 quote is not a Barking and Dagenham average.
Getting to the door matters as much as the job: high Road is busy with short loading bays; side streets have driveways. Chadwell Heath (Elizabeth line) is the nearest station, and two crew travel with the load for a dedicated van; part loads are consolidated at our depot and delivered by the driver running that route.
