Making-good after a leak in Islington.
Angel, Highbury, Canonbury, Holloway, Archway and Clerkenwell. A plasterer and decorator on the same 24/7 desk as the rest of London, with the visit charge confirmed before anyone is sent.
Making-good after a leak for Islington’s buildings.
Islington is mostly Georgian and Victorian terraces, house conversions, housing association blocks and warehouse flats. That shapes what goes wrong and how we fix it.
After a leak between flats, the ceiling below needs making good. We dry it out, repair the plaster and redecorate to match, and keep photos for the insurer.
We make good after leaks and repairs to the standard the managing agent needs, with before and after photos for the file.
For shops and offices we make good out of hours where we can, so the premises open as normal.
Typical jobs
- Ceiling stain after a leak
- Plaster once dry
- Paint and decor to the damaged area
- Bathroom or kitchen splashback make-good
Making-good is the repair after the leak, not a full redecoration of the flat. We will not paint a whole room to hide a stain we have not traced. The water path is found first. Then plaster and paint are quoted to the damaged area. Landlords and agents get photo notes so the tenant is not left guessing.
