Walk Lee from The Manor House and its gardens outwards and the mainly Victorian pattern is obvious: 39% of the 6,151 households in SE12 live in flats, 60% in houses.
Private renting sits at 22% and owner-occupation at 60%; the first group books moving van hire at short notice, the second plans it.
Expect some of it dry-lined during a later refurbishment, over solid London stock brick — which is why London Borough of Lewisham kerb rules get settled before the van is loaded behind the plaster in SE12. That is why fixings are picked in the room rather than off a van shelf, and why in SE12, fixings landing in soft lime mortar joints instead of the brick body — with 18% social-rented stock locally, block access is agreed with the estate office first is the fault we are called back to undo.
Two streets can behave very differently in Lee: manor House library, Lee Green's shops and streets of interwar houses. The quote reflects the street the job is actually on. Lee is outside the Congestion Charge zone but inside ULEZ; our vehicles are compliant, so nothing is added for it.
On access, driveways on many streets; Lee High Road is a red route with short bays — one reason one driver as standard on all three van sizes, with a second loader added by the hour where stairs, a lift booking or heavy furniture make a solo load impractical. Fitters travelling in use Lee (Southeastern).
