Handyman in Lewisham: local knowledge
Lewisham's Victorian and Edwardian terraces have been extensively converted into flats, and the maintenance challenges reflect decades of varied workmanship in those conversions. Damp and condensation are the most common issues, particularly in basement and ground floor flats where ventilation has been reduced by sealing up original fireplaces and airbricks. The post-war estates around Deptford have their own issues, with concrete floors, steel-framed windows, and panel walls that require different repair techniques.

- Built floor-to-ceiling fitted shelving in the alcoves either side of the chimney breast in a Victorian terrace living room

Pro tip for Lewisham homeowners
If you live in a Lewisham Victorian conversion with sealed-up fireplaces, condensation on the chimney breast wall is almost inevitable. The flue acts as a cold bridge, drawing moisture out of the warm room air. Fitting a ventilated chimney cap and a small airbrick or vent in the fireplace opening allows air to circulate through the flue without creating a draught, and usually resolves the damp patches within a few weeks.

The plaster in my Lewisham flat keeps crumbling on one wall. Can it just be patched?
If the plaster is blowing away from the brickwork and feels hollow when you tap it, patching will not hold because the bond between the plaster and the wall has failed. This is very common in Lewisham's Victorian conversions, usually caused by damp or simply age. The affected area needs to be hacked off back to solid brick, the wall treated if there is damp, and new plaster applied in two coats. We can match the finish of the surrounding plaster so the repair blends in once painted.
