Twickenham
Plasterers in Twickenham
Edwardian and interwar streets, family houses and a lot of extensions.
What gets worked on
Twickenham is mostly Edwardian and interwar housing with older property near the river and the town centre. Largely family occupied, so the jobs tend to be whole house rather than single room: layout changes, extensions, and making good afterwards.
Interwar houses bring their own quirk. Many were built with a sand and cement render or a pebbledash on the front, and where that has cracked the wall behind it has usually been wet for a while.
New work meeting old
A rear extension leaves a junction between new blockwork and an older wall, and that line is where a crack appears if the basecoat and the mesh were rushed.
Inside, the same junction has to disappear under the finish. Getting a new opening to read as though it was always there is most of what separates a good extension finish from an obvious one.
Access and river streets
Parking is controlled across most of the area and the streets near the river and the stadium are busy on event days, which is worth knowing before a delivery is booked.
Most of these houses have side access, which makes materials and waste easier here than in a terrace. Where there is none, the route goes through the house and stays sheeted.
