Making-good after a leak in Kensington and Chelsea.
Chelsea, South Kensington, Earl’s Court, Holland Park, Notting Hill and North Kensington. 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 Kensington and Chelsea’s buildings.
Kensington and Chelsea is mostly stucco terraces, mews houses and mansion blocks, much of it in conservation areas. That shapes what goes wrong and how we fix it.
Period plaster, cornices and skirtings are repaired to match. We flag anything that may need consent in a listed building before starting.
Mansion block ceilings are often lath and plaster with cornices. We make good to match what is there, not with a flat patch that looks wrong.
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.
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.
