A split stock
Vauxhall has changed more than most of inner London in the last twenty years. Along the river there is a large stock of recent apartment building; behind it there is Victorian and Georgian terrace and postwar estate.
The two want different work. A modern flat is built dry, with stud partitions and taped joints throughout, so altering anything means framing, boarding and matching. The older stock wants wet plaster and repair.
New build, and matching a taped finish
In a recent flat the existing finish is usually tape and joint rather than a full skim, and the two take paint differently.
Skimming one wall in a room finished the other way gives you a wall that reads differently under a side light, so the finish gets matched to the room rather than chosen.
Blocks, lifts and booked slots
Riverside blocks have their own rules: booked loading bays, a goods lift with a size limit, and a concierge who needs notice.
Boards get ordered to fit the lift rather than the room. It is the detail that most often decides whether a job starts on time in a building like this.
