Handyman in Clapham: local knowledge

Clapham's elegant Victorian, Edwardian, and Georgian properties come with high ceilings, ornate cornicing, ceiling roses, and deep skirting boards that owners expect to be maintained or replicated to a high standard. Many properties have basements that have been or are being converted to living space, which generates significant plastering, tiling, and flooring work. The premium end of the market here means attention to detail is paramount.

Pro tip for Clapham homeowners

When fitting new skirting boards in a Clapham period property, take a profile gauge to one of the original boards and have the new ones milled to match. Standard off-the-shelf profiles rarely match Victorian or Edwardian mouldings, and the difference is obvious when old and new sit in the same line of sight. A few extra pounds per metre on a bespoke profile makes a significant difference to the finished result.

Part of the ceiling cornice in my Clapham Victorian house has fallen off. Can it be repaired rather than replaced throughout?

In most cases, yes. We take a mould from an intact section of the existing cornice and cast a replacement piece in fibrous plaster that matches the original profile exactly. This is bonded into position and the joint is finished so that the repair is invisible once painted. It is considerably less expensive and disruptive than running a full new cornice, and it preserves the original character. We carry out this type of work regularly in Clapham's period properties.
