Our Approach

Preparation is central to a good result. We assess the condition of the existing surfaces, deal with loose or failing coatings, undertake suitable repairs and select an appropriate coating system for the material and exposure.

Every property is different, particularly older stone buildings with traditional joinery, so the work is planned around the condition of the surfaces and the desired finish.
