Plasterer in Hanwell
Traditional Plastering is based in Hanwell, so this is home ground. Walls, ceilings, renders, brickwork and painting, all done by Steve and his apprentice rather than a subcontractor.
Steve has worked out of Hanwell for forty years, which means a good number of the houses around here have had him in at some point. Some of them more than once, a room at a time, as owners have worked their way through the place.
Being local changes what you get. Steve can usually get over to look at a job the same week rather than booking you a fortnight out, and if a repair will hold up perfectly well he will tell you that instead of quoting you for a full re-plaster.
The kind of properties we work on in Hanwell
Most of Hanwell is Victorian and Edwardian terraces, particularly the streets running off Boston Road and up towards the Broadway. Behind the paint, a lot of those ceilings are still the original lath and plaster: timber laths with horsehair plaster pushed through them. When one starts to sag, crack in long straight lines or sound hollow when you tap it, that is the plaster losing its grip on the laths above.
The Church Road end and the streets around Brent Lodge Park hold some of the better preserved period stock in the borough, with original cornice and ceiling detail worth repairing properly rather than boarding over.
Then there is the interwar and postwar stock towards Boston Manor and the Uxbridge Road, semis with pebbledash and roughcast fronts that take the weather head on. Blown render is very common on those and often looks perfectly fine from the pavement until someone taps it.
What Hanwell customers usually call about
- Victorian ceilings cracking, bowing or coming down after a leak upstairs
- A loft conversion or rear extension that needs boarding and skimming before the decorators come in
- Pebbledash and render patched where it has blown off a front or gable end
- Garden walls, front steps and bay window brickwork repointed
- One team to plaster and then paint, rather than booking two separate trades

Plastering in Hanwell, answered
Yes. Traditional Plastering works out of Hanwell, W7, and has done for forty years. Most of the work is within a few miles of here.
It depends what is behind it. A long straight crack on an older Hanwell terrace often follows the laths, which usually means the plaster has started to come away from them. Steve will push it and tap it to see how much has let go. Sometimes it is a repair, sometimes the ceiling is past saving, and he will tell you which honestly.
Matching a patch into existing pebbledash or smooth render is standard work after forty years. Steve looks at the existing finish before starting so the repair does not stand out.
Being local, usually quickly. Call or text Steve on 07967 948030 and he will sort a time to come and see it.
