Colour, sheen and occupied-room sequence belong in the written package. Period fabric around Deptford often means layered alterations, solid walls and services that have been changed over decades — substrate, preparation and matching of existing fabric must be read from the unit, not from the neighbourhood name.

We confirm fit, availability and written terms before any visit — Hampstead Renovations or Hampstead Maintenance, never a marketplace.
