Plastering after a rewire in Woolwich and Thamesmead. Cable chases, back-box holes and lifted boards made good so the walls are ready for decorating.
A rewire in a Woolwich house leaves a trail: chases cut into the walls for new cables, holes around sockets and switches, and damaged plaster where old fittings came out. Making good is its own job. The chases are filled in layers so they do not shrink back, patches are brought flush with the wall, and if the walls were tired anyway, a full skim afterwards often gives a better finish than dozens of patches.
In Woolwich, the cost of making good after a rewire depends on the number of rooms, chases and holes, and whether patching or a full skim is best. Photos of each room are enough to price it.
In the older Woolwich terraces the plaster is often lime on brick, which can crumble when chased. That is patched with a compatible backing coat before the finish, so the repair stays sound.
