Georgian streets and later estates
Kennington has some of the best preserved Georgian terrace in south London, around the park and along the older roads, with substantial postwar estates among it.
The Georgian stock is largely listed or in conservation areas, and a lot of it is divided into flats, so a job is usually one or two floors of a larger house.
Old fabric, and what it wants
Georgian lath and plaster is thinner and older than Victorian, usually patched more than once, and often finished originally in lime rather than gypsum.
Whether a wall wants a breathable finish or will take a modern one is decided by what it is made of and what is already on it, which means looking rather than assuming.
Lambeth, consent and access
Where work touches original plasterwork in a listed building, consent may be needed, and that is raised before a date is agreed rather than discovered partway through.
Parking is controlled, the streets are narrow, and everything goes in and out through the front door, so the route stays sheeted.
