Modern repairs are quietly damaging period homes
Cement render, plastic fillers and the wrong paint trap moisture against old brick and timber. Over a few winters that means damp, rot and cracked finishes — and the slow loss of the features that make your home worth more.
- Cement render that traps damp in solid walls
- Plastic fillers and the wrong paint, peeling within seasons
- Rip-out-and-replace that erases original character
Period homes were built to breathe. We restore them using the materials and methods they were built with, so the work lasts and the character stays intact.
