Inspection & Scope of Work

Full plastering of a rear kitchen extension and loft conversion on a Victorian terrace in Wandsworth. The extension comprised a new kitchen/diner at ground floor and a new master bedroom with en-suite in the loft conversion. All new plasterboard installed by the builder required skim coating.

Challenges Encountered

Coordinating with the main builder and kitchen fitter to ensure plastering was carried out in the right sequence — after electrics and plumbing first fix, but before kitchen installation. The loft conversion had complex ceiling angles and a Velux window reveal that required careful detailing.

Our Solution

We worked closely with the main contractor to plan the sequence. Ground floor extension walls and ceiling were skimmed in day 1-2. We then returned after first fix in the loft was complete on day 4-5. All angles, reveals, and junctions with the existing house were carefully detailed to create seamless joins.
