Knightsbridge
Plasterers in Knightsbridge
Mansion flats and stucco terrace, managed buildings and strict hours.
Flats above everything else
Knightsbridge is dominated by mansion blocks and by stucco terrace converted into flats, with a good deal of commercial use at street level. Solid masonry, generous rooms and a long history of internal alteration.
The work is almost entirely internal and almost entirely repair or refinishing: skimming rooms back to flat, repairing ceilings and dry lining where a layout has changed.
Managed buildings
Nearly every building here has a managing agent, agreed working hours and a booked goods lift. Those decide the programme more than the plastering does.
Boards are ordered in sizes the lift will take, waste leaves on a schedule rather than being stored, and the common parts are protected on every trip in and out.
Consent and conservation
Most of the area is in a conservation area and many individual buildings are listed, which can extend to internal plasterwork.
Where a job touches something that looks original the starting position is to keep and repair it, and anything that might need permission is raised at estimate stage.
