In Stratford (E15) the split is 61% flats to 39% houses over 10,391 households, and the stock is mainly Victorian.
Because 37% of Stratford is privately rented and 35% socially rented, a lot of E15 work is agreed with a landlord or managing agent rather than the person opening the door.
Stratford substrates run to precast concrete panels and dense blockwork in Stratford, often with surface conduit, which is what a 61% flat share across the ONS neighbourhood covering Stratford actually produces. Nothing is drilled until the wall has been sounded, because drilling blind into a panel with reinforcement or a buried cable behind it, as the Stratford stock goes, the pattern behind 10,391 households inside the E15 neighbourhood is the mistake that costs a E15 customer twice.
Stratford 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 — westfield, the Olympic Park and a skyline of new residential towers — which is why a E15 quote is not a Newham average.
Every tower needs a booked goods lift and loading bay; estate roads are camera-controlled. Nearest station is Stratford (Central, Jubilee, Elizabeth line, DLR), 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.
