What we take on

Domestic and commercial, all property types

17 areas, one page each. What changes between them is the building rather than the trade: a 1930s semi in Petts Wood and a Victorian terrace in Lewisham want different things from the same plastering, and the practical side of boarding out a converted flat is decided by the stairs as much as by the room. The services page covers the work itself.

Bromley

The base. Thirties semis, Edwardian villas, and everything the town centre flats have been through.

Read more

Beckenham

Big Edwardian houses, a lot of them divided, and the ceilings that come with them.

Read more

Orpington

Estate built semis, extensions on the back of most of them, and a lot of artex.

Read more

Sidcup

Thirties and postwar housing, and the making good that follows every kitchen and bathroom.

Read more

Lewisham

Victorian terraces, most of them divided, and the ceilings that come with that age.

Read more

Eltham

Thirties estates and Edwardian terraces, in the Greenwich half of the patch.

Read more

Greenwich

Georgian and Victorian stock, a lot of it protected, where the detail is the point.

Read more

Chislehurst

Larger houses, a lot of original detail, and conservation areas to check against.

Read more

Bexley

Interwar and postwar housing on the Kent side, and a lot of extensions.

Read more

Dartford

The Kent end of the patch. Newer stock, more new build, and more screeding.

Read more

Petts Wood

Thirties semis built as one piece, which makes the work unusually predictable.

Read more

West Wickham

Interwar semis and detached houses, well kept, and mostly wanting one room at a time.

Read more

Blackheath

Two completely different kinds of house within half a mile of each other, and they want opposite things.

Read more

Bexleyheath

Interwar semis almost all the way, and the same four jobs come up again and again.

Read more

Kensington

Tall rooms, original mouldings, and a set of access rules that decide how the week runs.

Read more

Chelsea

Georgian and Victorian terraces, small mews houses, and a lot of basements that were not basements before.

Read more

Pimlico

Cubitt's terraces on made ground, and a lot of houses that are now four flats.

“They did a great job. I had an awkward hallway area and a large ceiling to skim. I thought they'd finished earlier in the day as it looked great to me then, but they went over the whole area to make sure that the finish was perfect.”

Plastering, screeding and rendering out of Bromley, across South East London, the Kent border and Central London, on every kind of property, domestic and commercial. If you are outside that it is still worth asking, because it depends on the size of the job and how the week is already booked.

See all areas we cover

Yes, always in writing, and after somebody has looked at the job rather than off a description. If something turns up behind the plaster once work starts, you are told before it is dealt with, not after.

Most of the work is in occupied property. Floors get sheeted, doorways get sealed where the rest of the house is in use, and noisy work is kept to the middle of the day so the neighbours can live with it.

Yes. Domestic and commercial both, and a commercial fit out tends to run to a tighter programme with more of the work happening out of hours, which is planned for rather than charged for as a surprise.

It depends what is already booked and how big the job is. A single room repair usually fits in sooner than a whole property. The honest date gets given at estimate stage rather than an optimistic one.

Yes. Hacked off plaster, board offcuts and packaging all leave with the job. Nothing gets left in a communal hallway or stacked in a front garden.
