Cross Trent Bridge from the city and you are in West Bridgford, about three miles south of Patch Me If You Can's base in Mapperley. It has a real spread of housing, and we plaster all of it.
The heart of the town is mostly Victorian. It was laid out after the Musters family sold land for building under strict rules: tree-lined roads on a grid, limits on house size along main roads such as Musters Road, and smaller terraces on side roads like Exchange Road, built for the servants of wealthy Nottingham merchants. Around that core sit later areas with their own character. Edwalton's large estates date from the early 1950s and the 1980s onwards, Gamston was mostly built from the 1980s, and Sharphill Farm has newer high-specification family homes. Abbey Park, Compton Acres and Wilford Hill fill in the map.
Matching the work to the house
A Victorian terrace and a recent family home need very different approaches. In the older streets it is often patch repairs to tired original plaster, or re-plastering and skimming where walls have been opened up. Houses from the 1980s onwards are more likely to be lined with plasterboard, which makes stud walls, media walls and wall panelling straightforward additions, and boarding or skimming over damaged ceilings a common request. Indoor plastering of every kind is covered, including whole properties of up to four bedrooms.
Edwalton's old village, together with Melton Road and Valley Road, became a conservation area in September 2025. If your home is inside it and listed, check with Rushcliffe Borough Council before removing anything original.
