2026 Service List

Heritage Painting & Finishing

• Brouns & Co Linseed Oil Paint Specialist As a recognised specialist in the application of Brouns & Co linseed oil paints, we provide a finishing service that is both historically authentic and technically superior. Unlike modern plastic-based paints that trap moisture and cause decay, these Yorkshire-made paints are entirely breathable and "wick" moisture away from the substrate. This protects timber from rot and metal from rust, offering a maintenance cycle of up to 15 years. Our expertise ensures the paint is applied to the manufacturer’s exact standards, ensuring your property is protected by the most durable, eco-friendly, and historically accurate finish available today.

Specialist Building Conservation

• Timber Features Restoration We specialize in the sympathetic repair and preservation of period timber. From ornate carvings to structural beams, we use traditional techniques to ensure that historical woodwork is stabilized and restored without losing its original character.

• Historic Glazing & Window Care Our team provides expert restoration for historic glass and window frames. We focus on preserving original cylinder or crown glass while ensuring frames are weatherproofed and functional, maintaining the aesthetic integrity of the building’s "eyes."

• Infrared Paint Stripping A gentle, modern solution for a classic problem. Using infrared technology, we safely remove layers of old paint from timber and masonry. This method minimizes heat damage to the substrate and prevents the release of toxic lead dust, making it the gold standard for heritage surfaces.

• Traditional Burnt Sand Mastic Application We are experts in the application of traditional burnt sand mastic—the historical choice for sealing the gaps between timber window frames and masonry. This breathable, flexible, and incredibly durable material is essential for the long-term protection of traditional buildings.

• Conservation Masonry Cleaning We offer non-abrasive cleaning solutions designed to remove centuries of carbon buildup, biological growth, and pollutants. Our methods prioritize the "health" of the stone, ensuring the patina is respected.

• Historic Concrete Conservation Early and mid-century concrete requires a specialized touch. We provide assessment and repair services for historic concrete structures, addressing reinforcement corrosion and surface spalling while matching original textures and finishes.
