Hammersmith
Plasterers in Hammersmith
Terraces, mansion flats and a lot of buildings in multiple occupation.
A mixed stock
Hammersmith runs from Victorian terrace through Edwardian mansion blocks to post war infill, and the mix is tighter than in most of west London. A street can have solid walled terrace on one side and a block of flats on the other, and the two want different approaches to the same room.
In the older property the work is repair and refinishing: ceilings, blown plaster, and making good. In the blocks it is more often dry lining, because altering a flat means boarding and finishing rather than wet plastering a solid wall.
Buildings with a lot of people in them
A high proportion of the stock here is flats, including houses converted into several units. That changes the job more than the building does. There is always somebody home, always a shared entrance, and usually a managing agent who needs to know before work starts.
The practical answers are the same each time. Protect the common parts, keep the noisy work to the middle of the day, take the waste out as it is generated rather than stockpiling it, and leave the shared hallway cleaner than the state it was found in.
Traffic, parking and getting materials in
Hammersmith is busy and the main routes through it are busier. Deliveries get timed away from the worst of it, and where a street is permit controlled a bay gets suspended in advance. Anything that cannot be carried through a communal door in one piece gets ordered in a size that can.
None of that is complicated, but it is the difference between a job that runs to the day it was priced for and one that loses a morning waiting for somewhere to unload.
