Our approach to period and heritage properties
Period and heritage homes need a careful, considered approach. We assess each surface properly before starting work and, where required, work alongside heritage or conservation specialists to make sure the right method is used.
In many older properties, previous repairs or redecoration may 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, compatible exterior coatings suited to older buildings, including limewash where appropriate.
Before starting, we assess the condition of the surface, the construction of the property and any previous coatings. This helps us choose the right approach to protect the building’s appearance, performance and character.
Sash windows, period joinery and resin repairs
We carry out careful preparation, specialist resin repairs and decoration to sash windows, period joinery and original timber features.
Where timber is damaged, we aim to repair and preserve existing details wherever suitable, rather than replacing unnecessarily. Our approach is designed to protect the character of the property while achieving a clean, durable finish.
