The building stock is led by stucco-fronted and brick terraces, large mansion blocks with ornate communal lobbies, and detached or semi-detached period homes behind the High Street. External joinery, sash windows, and stucco maintenance feature in most exterior briefs. Internal work often involves higher ceilings and more detailed trim than average. For hotels & hospitality work, that usually means adapting around cyclical mansion block programmes often span several months and need clear phase plans agreed with the managing agent before starting rather than following a generic programme.
