Specialist Care

Period & Listed Properties

The Weald of Kent and East Sussex is home to a wealth of beautiful period and listed buildings. We bring care, experience and an appropriate approach to decorating these cherished properties, ensuring that their character is preserved and enhanced.

Sensitive Preparation and Decoration

Period properties require a more considered approach than modern homes. We take the time to understand the character of each building and prepare surfaces carefully, avoiding aggressive methods that could damage original features. Every step is carried out with patience and respect for the property.

Traditional Timberwork

Many older properties in the Weald feature original timber windows, doors, panelling and mouldings that deserve careful attention. We prepare and finish traditional timberwork using techniques suited to the age and construction of the building, preserving its character while providing lasting protection.

Appropriate Materials and Finishes

Choosing the right paint and finish for a period or listed property is essential. We use products that are compatible with the building, including breathable paints where appropriate, and select finishes that complement the character of the property. We are always happy to discuss the best options for your home.

Respect for Historic Building Fabric

We understand that listed and period properties carry a responsibility. Our approach is always to work carefully, to minimise disruption and to ensure that the historic fabric of the building is respected throughout. We take care to protect original features, fittings and surroundings during every project.
