Dulwich
Plasterers in Dulwich
Georgian and Victorian property, conservation areas and careful repair.
An unusually intact area
Dulwich has a higher proportion of surviving older property than most of south London: Georgian along the village, substantial Victorian villas around the park, and interwar building beyond. Much of it sits within conservation areas.
Ownership here tends to be long term and single family, which shows in the work: repair and restoration rather than conversion patching.
Detail worth keeping
Cornice, ceiling roses and original ceilings survive in a lot of these rooms, and where they do the job is planned around them rather than through them.
Where a section of cornice has been lost, the profile is matched and run into the existing length. Replacing a whole run because one metre is damaged is rarely the right answer in a house like this.
Southwark, and access
Southwark sets the parking and the noisy works hours. The village and the roads around the park are narrow and busy at school times, which is worth planning a delivery around.
Most of these houses have side or rear access, so materials and waste are easier here than in a terrace.
