Georgian grid and later blocks
Marylebone is a Georgian grid of brick terrace with substantial later mansion blocks among it. The terraces have the tall lower floors, fine cornice and lath and plaster ceilings; the blocks have solid masonry and generous proportions.
A great deal is listed and all of it sits within conservation areas, so original plasterwork is not something to remove and replace with an approximation.
Working on old fabric
Georgian lath and plaster is older and often thinner than the Victorian equivalent, and it has usually been patched several times. What looks like one ceiling is frequently three or four different repairs.
That is worth establishing before anything is priced, because a ceiling that will take a skim and one that needs overboarding are very different jobs.
Consent, hours and loading
Where work touches something original in a listed building, consent may be needed and that gets flagged at estimate stage rather than discovered later.
Westminster sets the kerb and most blocks set their own hours. Deliveries are planned and waste leaves on a schedule.
