Streatham
Plasterers in Streatham
Long Victorian and Edwardian streets, family houses and conversions.
What the streets hold
Streatham runs from substantial Victorian villas near the common through long Edwardian terraces to interwar semis further out. A broad mix, and a broad mix of jobs with it.
The larger houses are often divided; the interwar stock is usually still in single family use and brings whole house work rather than single rooms.
Interwar houses and their render
A lot of the 1930s stock here was built with a rendered or pebbledashed front. Where that has cracked, water has usually been getting in behind it for some time before anyone notices inside.
That decides the order of work: the outside is sorted and the wall allowed to dry before anything is done to the plaster inside it.
Lambeth rules and getting in
Parking is controlled across most of the area and the streets near the common and the station fill early.
Most of these houses have side access, which makes materials and waste easier than in a tight terrace. Where there is none the route runs through the house and stays sheeted.
