The service, locally
After builders cleaning in Temple and Aldwych WC2
WC2's period stock rewards patience over pressure — plasterwork dry-brushed from a pole, joinery vacuumed out before it is wiped on the Temple and Aldwych rounds — and 5% of Temple and Aldwych homes being houses, with 28% owner-occupation locally, and newly oiled floors treated with exactly what the finisher specified and nothing else.
Refurbishment work in Temple and Aldwych is restoration as much as construction: original plaster, joinery, glass and floors that cannot be replaced if a product marks them on the Temple and Aldwych rounds — and this being Westminster City Council territory, with 44% of WC2 homes being privately rented.
Typical works here: period whole-house refurbishments and conservation-area work. Access and parking: Embankment red route, Inns gate control and no loading on the Strand at peak times.
