Camberwell
Plasterers in Camberwell
Georgian and Victorian terrace, a lot of it divided and a lot of it patched.
Older than it looks
Camberwell has Georgian terrace around the green and along the older roads, with dense Victorian building filling in behind it and postwar estates among that.
A high proportion of the period stock is divided into flats, and much of it has been altered repeatedly, so what is behind a wall is rarely what the age of the house would suggest.
Finding out before pricing
In this stock particularly, a wall that looks sound can be hollow across half its area, and a ceiling that looks flat can be three different repairs.
That is exactly why nothing gets priced off a photograph here. Tapping the wall takes a minute and decides whether the job is a skim or a strip and reboard.
Southwark rules
Parking is controlled and the streets near the green are narrow. Boards get ordered in sizes that will turn on a Georgian staircase, which is tighter than a Victorian one.
In a converted house the shared parts get protected for the length of the job and cleaned at the end of each day.
