Our approach
Respecting what makes a period home special.
Older homes deserve a different approach. We take time to understand original features, use methods and materials suited to period properties, and restore rather than replace wherever we can, so character is preserved, not painted over.
Whether it’s a single cornice or a full room of original detailing, we bring the same sensitivity and skill to every project.

Cornices and ceiling roses
Mouldings and panelling
Sash windows and period doors
Sympathetic colour schemes
Staircases and balustrades

What our clients say
Hardworking, polite and punctual.
“Hall, stairs, landing renovation, painting and papering” — 10/10, 9 April 2020, M24, Middleton
Full renovation of hall, stairs and landing in a Victorian house. Very professional service including lots of prep, painting and dado panel anaglypta wallpapering. Lots of old woodwork brought up to a good standard. Old flaking panelling and stair components revived. Cornices restored and rebuilt in places. Plenty of advice given along the way and extras/snagging undertaken wherever pointed out. A great bunch of guys, hardworking, polite and punctual. Would recommend to anybody and will likely be calling on them again in the future.
