The housing behind the high street
Brixton is largely mid and late Victorian terrace, much of it substantial, with postwar estates and newer infill among it. A high proportion of the terraces are divided into flats.
That gives the usual conversion inheritance: partitions meeting old walls, cornice that stops at a stud, and ceilings patched where a bathroom or kitchen was fitted above.
Repairs, damp and order of work
Blown plaster on an external wall is common in this stock and it is usually blamed on the plaster rather than on what is behind it.
Once the cause is fixed and the wall has dried, the damaged plaster comes off and goes back. Plastering over a wall that is still wet seals the water in and the patch fails again within a year.
Lambeth, and access
Lambeth sets the parking and the permitted hours for noisy work, and the streets near the centre are busy and controlled.
In a converted house the common parts are sheeted for the length of the job and the hours follow the lease or whatever the other residents reasonably expect.
