Handyman in Wembley, HA9
Handyman in Wembley, HA9, in Brent: new towers with concierge and service lifts, plus 1930s semis behind, so the walls here are lath and plaster over timber studs, with solid brick on the party and external walls. The list we are booked for most is alcove shelving and a TV bracket, both fixed through the plaster into something solid, and the failure we are called back to fix is a plasterboard plug spun into lime plaster, which crumbles the key and drops the panel.

Most likely here
Lath and plaster — Pre-1930 terraces and mansion blocks
