Written price after a look at the job
Westminster
Plasterers in Westminster
Mansion flats and period buildings, much of it commercial as well as residential.
Dust sheeted, swept and cleared down daily
One person on site, start to finish
Work planned around parking and access
Flats, offices and buildings doing both
Westminster's stock is dense and mixed: mansion blocks, converted period houses, and a lot of buildings where the lower floors are commercial and the upper ones are not. That mix decides how a job runs more than the plastering itself does.
The work is mostly internal and mostly repair or refinishing. Skimming rooms back to flat, repairing ceilings, dry lining where a layout has changed, and making good after services have been moved through a building that was never designed for them.
Conservation areas and consent
Most of the borough is covered by conservation areas and a large number of individual buildings are listed. For internal work in a listed building that can extend to original plasterwork and mouldings, which are not items to strip out and replace on a whim.
Where a job touches something that looks original, the starting position is to keep and repair it. If what you want needs consent, that gets flagged at estimate stage so it can be checked with the borough before any work is booked.
Working around everybody else
In a building with offices below and flats above, there is no time of day that suits everyone. Most buildings here have agreed working hours, a booked goods lift and a building manager who expects notice, and the programme gets built around those rather than the other way round.
Central London access is the rest of it: congestion charge, no parking to speak of, planned deliveries and waste removed rather than stored. Where materials have to come up in a lift, they get ordered in sizes that fit it.
