A long history in the housing
Richmond runs from Georgian terrace around the green and the hill through substantial Victorian and Edwardian villas to twentieth century infill. A great deal of it is in a conservation area and a good number of individual buildings are listed.
The work here is weighted towards repair and refinishing rather than new: ceilings that have started to move, cornice interrupted by an earlier alteration, and rooms that need bringing back flat without losing what is worth keeping.
High ceilings and old lath
A tall Georgian or Victorian ceiling is a long span of lath and plaster with real weight in it. When the nibs above the laths start to fail it bows slowly, and because it is so far above eye level it is often well advanced before anyone notices.
Where the ceiling is sound it can be repaired and skimmed in place. Where it is moving, overboarding up to the cornice keeps the original run and fixes the surface to something solid.
Borough rules and getting to the work
Richmond upon Thames sets the parking and the permitted hours, and the streets around the green and the hill are tight. Bay suspensions get arranged in advance.
In a house divided into flats the staircase is the route in and out for everything. It gets protected and cleaned at the end of each day rather than at the end of the job.
