Stockwell
Plasterers in Stockwell
Victorian terrace, estates and a lot of conversion work.
What the area is built of
Stockwell is mid and late Victorian terrace with substantial postwar estates among it and some Georgian near the older roads. A large share of the period stock is divided into flats.
The work is weighted to repair and making good: ceilings, blown plaster, and the junctions left behind by conversions carried out over several decades.
Ceilings in converted houses
A converted house usually has a bathroom or kitchen above a room that was never meant to have one, and the ceiling below records every leak that has ever happened.
A ceiling repair there waits on the leak being fixed and the structure drying. Going in early means doing it twice.
Lambeth, hours and neighbours
Hacking off and overboarding are both loud, and in a converted house there is somebody directly below and through every wall.
Lambeth sets permitted hours for noisy work and most leases are stricter still, so the loud parts get done in the middle of the day.
