Plasterer in Perivale
Plastering, render repair and repointing across Perivale and UB6, with plenty of experience on the 1930s semis this area is built from.
Perivale is next door to Greenford, which is already one of the busier parts of the patch, so Steve is over this way most weeks. The housing here is remarkably consistent, which means the same handful of jobs come up again and again.
That familiarity is useful. Steve has done enough of these houses to know where the render tends to go first and what is behind a given wall before he opens it up.
The kind of properties we work on in Perivale
Perivale is classic 1930s suburban London: bay fronted semis built along the Western Avenue and the Underground line, most of them still on their original layout. The fronts are typically part render or pebbledash above brick, often with a rendered bay and a tile hung or rendered gable.
After ninety years, that original render is usually the thing that needs attention. It cracks around the bay, blows on the exposed gable, and lets water in at the sills. Left alone, the damp comes through to the inside face of the wall and the plaster in the front bedroom starts to go with it.
Inside, most of the ceilings here are original lath and plaster on the first floor and often plasterboard downstairs where people have already had work done. Knocked-through kitchen diners and loft conversions are extremely common, and both need boarding and skimming out.
What Perivale customers usually call about
- Cracked or blown render on a bay front or gable end
- Loft conversions boarded and skimmed ready for decorating
- Knocked-through kitchen diners made good where the wall came out
- Damp-damaged plaster on the inside of an exterior wall, once the outside is sorted
- Front garden walls and bay brickwork repointed
Getting to you
Perivale is a few minutes past Greenford from Hanwell, so it is a short run. Photos of a render crack on WhatsApp will usually tell Steve whether it is surface cracking or something that has actually let go.

Plastering in Perivale, answered
Yes, UB6 across Perivale, the streets around Horsenden Hill and along towards Alperton Lane. Greenford is the next stop along, so it is all local.
Not necessarily. Fine surface cracking in otherwise sound render can often be made good. Cracking with hollow, drummy render behind it is a different job, because that render has lost its bond and will keep failing. Steve taps it to tell the difference before quoting.
Not on its own, no. If water is getting in through failed render or bad pointing outside, re-plastering the inside just covers it up until it comes back. The outside has to be sorted first, then the inside made good once it has dried out. Steve does both, so it can be handled as one job.
Yes, boarding and skimming loft conversions is regular work. Steve will work around the builder's timetable so the plaster gets proper drying time before the decorators start.
