Chiswick
Plasterers in Chiswick
Bedford Park and the grids around it, with detail worth protecting.
Bedford Park and the later grids
Chiswick runs from the Queen Anne style houses of Bedford Park, one of the earliest planned suburbs in the country and largely listed, through dense Victorian and Edwardian terrace to interwar building near the river.
In Bedford Park and the conservation areas around it the original joinery, cornice and ceilings are the reason the houses are protected, so the work is repair first and replacement only where nothing else will do.
Ceilings and cornice
The commonest call here is a ceiling that has started to sag or crack in a room with cornice worth keeping. Overboarding up to the cornice rather than through it keeps the original run and gives a flat surface underneath.
Where a section of cornice has been lost to an earlier alteration, the profile is matched and the new length run into what is there rather than replaced wholesale.
Hounslow, and the practical side
Hounslow sets the parking and the noisy works hours. The grids off Chiswick High Road are permit controlled and full during the day, so deliveries get timed.
Where a job touches something that looks original, the starting position is to keep and repair it, and anything that might need consent is flagged before work is booked.
