Service One

Interior Painting & Decorating

I

Flawless interior finishes for principal rooms, halls, and private quarters, prepared and painted to a heritage standard. We work carefully around a home's existing character — matching new plaster repairs to period coving and mouldings, protecting floors and furniture throughout, and finishing every surface with premium paints chosen for depth of colour and longevity.

From subtle off-whites in panelled drawing rooms to richly pigmented libraries and bold, contemporary colour schemes in kitchens and bathrooms, the result is calm, considered, and built to last — whether the brief is a single room or a full redecoration.

FAQs

Common Questions

Can we stay in the property while work is carried out?

In most cases, yes. Rooms are worked through in a planned sequence with dust sheets and protection throughout, so the rest of the home stays liveable.

Do you match new plaster repairs to existing coving and mouldings?

Yes — any repairs are matched to the existing period detailing before painting, so the finish reads as a single, considered scheme.

How long does a full interior redecoration take?

This depends on the scope and number of rooms involved — every project starts with a survey so we can give you a clear, realistic timeline.

Service Two

Exterior Painting & Masonry Restoration

II

Specialist restoration of period façades, render, stucco, and brickwork, carried out with proper regard for how older buildings need to breathe. Each elevation is assessed for weathering, salt damage, and the effects of previous unsympathetic repairs before any work begins.

We restore using breathable mineral paints and lime-based finishes that protect the building rather than trap moisture within it — preserving the character of the façade while ensuring it weathers well for decades to come.

Exterior Painting & Masonry Restoration

FAQs

Common Questions

Do I need planning or listed-building consent for exterior work?

This depends on your property and any listing — we're happy to discuss what we see during a survey, though you should always confirm requirements with your local conservation officer.

Why use lime or mineral paint instead of standard masonry paint?

Older walls need to breathe. Standard modern paints can trap moisture inside the wall, which leads to damp and further damage over time.

What's the best time of year for exterior work?

Warmer, drier months are generally preferred, though this depends on the specific work involved — we'll advise during your survey.

Service Three

Sash Window & Timber Restoration

III

Full restoration of traditional sash windows, casements, doors, and exterior joinery. Where timber has suffered rot or damage, we splice in new sections rather than replacing whole frames wherever possible, and replace cords, weights and other mechanisms so the window operates as it should.

Original glass and historic ironmongery are retained wherever possible, and every sash is eased, re-balanced, and finished with a precise hand-painted system — returning it to smooth, draught-free operation without losing its period character.

Sash Window & Timber Restoration

FAQs

Common Questions

Is repair really possible, or will you just recommend replacement?

Wherever the timber condition allows, we repair rather than replace — it's usually more in keeping with a period property and can be more cost-effective.

Will restored windows still let in draughts?

No — part of the restoration process is easing and rebalancing each sash so it closes properly and operates smoothly.

Can the original glass be kept?

In most cases, yes. Original or historic glass is retained wherever its condition allows.

Service Four

Decorative Plaster Mouldings

IV

Custom decorative moulding crafted mainly in traditional plaster, with resin and stone elements available where suited to the property. From ornate cornices and ceiling roses to architraves and dado rails, existing period detailing can be restored or matched, and new pieces designed to sit naturally within a historic interior.

Every moulding is shaped, cast, and finished by hand, with the same attention to detail carried through from first sketch to final fix — ensuring new plasterwork sits naturally alongside a period ceiling or wall rather than looking applied.

Decorative Plaster Mouldings

FAQs

Common Questions

Can you match an existing damaged cornice or ceiling rose exactly?

In most cases, yes — damaged sections can be matched by hand to the surrounding profile.

How disruptive is the work?

This varies with scope, but dust and mess are minimised through careful preparation and protection of the room.

Can new mouldings be designed for a property that doesn't have any yet?

Yes — new mouldings can be designed to suit the period and character of your property.
