Bayswater
Plasterers in Bayswater
Stucco terraces north of the park, almost entirely divided into flats.
Terrace, squares and conversion
Bayswater is mid nineteenth century stucco terrace around squares, built large and almost entirely converted into flats and hotels since. Tall lower floors, solid walls and original ceilings where they have survived.
Because so much of it is divided, the work is usually one flat within a much larger building, and the junctions left by conversion are most of the job.
What conversion leaves
New partitions meeting old walls, cornice that stops abruptly at a stud, and ceilings patched where services were run through. The plasterwork records every alteration the building has had.
Getting a patched ceiling to read as one surface, and a new partition to die into an old wall without a visible line, is where the time goes.
Westminster, and the practical side
Westminster controls the kerb tightly and the area sits inside the congestion charge zone, so materials arrive in planned drops and waste is taken away rather than left.
Most buildings here have agreed working hours and a managing agent who expects notice. The programme gets built around those rather than the other way round.
What gets done in Bayswater
The work that comes up most in Bayswater is repairs and skimming, with dry lining close behind. The full list is here, and the other areas covered are here.
Repairs
Cracks, hollow plaster, water damage and making good after other trades, cut back and blended in.
