Paddington
Plasterers in Paddington
Period terrace, mansion flats and a lot of newer building near the basin.
Dust sheeted, swept and cleared down daily
One person on site, start to finish
Work planned around parking and access
Two kinds of building
Paddington splits cleanly. The streets and squares away from the station are nineteenth century stucco terrace, mostly flats now. Around the basin and the station there is a large amount of recent apartment building.
The older stock brings repair: cracked ceilings, blown plaster and making good after conversion. The newer stock brings dry lining, because altering anything in a modern flat means framing, boarding and matching a taped finish.
Matching what is already there
In a modern flat, skimming one wall of a room where the other three are taped board gives you a wall that takes paint differently from its neighbours, and it will show under a side light.
Matching the existing finish matters more than it sounds, so which of the two a room gets is decided by what is on the other walls rather than by preference.
Access in a busy part of town
Congestion charge, no parking to speak of, and buildings with booked loading times and a goods lift that may or may not take a long board.
Boards get ordered to fit the lift rather than the room, which is the sort of detail that decides whether a job starts on the day it was booked for.
