Frequently Asked Questions
What types of historic properties do you work on?
We work on a range of historic and period properties including listed buildings and homes across Greater London and nearby areas. Our expertise covers interiors where traditional finishes are essential for preserving character.
How do you ensure the finishes are authentic?
We conduct thorough research into the building’s history and original materials, using lime-based plasters and pigments to replicate authentic textures and colours. This approach ensures our finishes align with the period style.
