Our Approach to Heritage Properties
Period and heritage homes need a careful, considered approach. We assess each surface properly and, where needed, seek advice from a heritage specialist to help determine the most suitable way forward. In many older properties, previous repairs or redecoration have introduced unsuitable modern materials or coatings. Where appropriate, these may need to be carefully removed so the building can be repaired and redecorated using more compatible materials and methods.
Exterior Decoration for Heritage & Period Properties
We use breathable and compatible exterior coating systems suited to older buildings, including limewash where appropriate. Our approach is based on the condition of the surface, the construction of the property and the need to protect both performance and character.
Sash Windows & Period Joinery
We carry out careful preparation, repair and decoration to sash windows, period joinery and original timber features using methods suited to older properties. Our approach focuses on preserving original detail, using suitable materials and achieving finishes that look right for the age and character of the property.
Interior Decorating for Heritage & Period Properties
We provide careful interior decorating for period and heritage homes, taking into account original features, surface condition and the character of each room. Our approach focuses on thorough preparation, suitable materials and finishes that feel right for the age and style of the property.
