Conservation
Was your home or building constructed before or around 1919?
If so, your building requires heritage materials to function correctly.
During the past century and a half, the introduction of modern materials to historic buildings, namely Portland cement and plastic-based paints, has caused significant damage to our heritage buildings by inhibiting ‘breathability’.
I offer a range of historic building practices and traditional repair methods, aimed at restoring, repairing and reviving historic buildings through minimal intervention, while maintaining heritage value and restoring breathability.
Including but not limited to:
- Traditional Lime pointing
- Historic timber repair
- Heritage window repair
- Lime washing
- Traditional roof torching
- Roofing repair
- Lime plastering and repair of historic plasters
Please don’t hesitate to get in contact, and we can arrange a free quote for your heritage project.
