Ealing
Plasterers in Ealing
Large Victorian and Edwardian houses, many divided, and mansion blocks.
Substantial period housing
Ealing has some of the largest period housing in west London: detached and semi detached Victorian and Edwardian villas with tall reception rooms, deep cornice and original lath and plaster ceilings, alongside red brick mansion blocks.
A high proportion of the villas were divided into flats during the last century, which is where most of the work comes from. Cornice that stops at a stud wall, ceilings patched after a bathroom went in, and rooms that need bringing back to one surface.
Big rooms, and what they ask for
A large reception room is unforgiving. A long wall shows every dip under a side light, and a ceiling of that span carries real weight in its lath and plaster.
Those rooms are worth the extra time in the preparation rather than the finish. Getting a wall genuinely flat before the finish coat goes on is what decides how it looks in daylight.
Blocks, agents and hours
A mansion block comes with rules worth reading before a date is set: working hours in the lease, a goods lift with a size limit, and a managing agent who wants notice.
Those shape the programme more than the plastering does, so boards get ordered in sizes that will actually reach the flat and waste leaves on a schedule.
