Heritage restoration for Holland Park’s historic houses — stucco, lime plaster, sash windows and decorative plasterwork restored with correct materials and craft, on listed and conservation properties.

Holland Park is built from historic fabric — stucco fronts, lime plaster, timber sash windows, decorative cornices and joinery — and that fabric needs restoring with the materials and methods it was made with. Patching a lime-plastered, soft-brick house with modern cement traps moisture and does long-term harm; correct restoration works with the building, not against it.
We restore rather than replace wherever the original survives: repairing sash boxes and reinstating cords and weights, running cornices and mouldings to match, repairing stucco with lime, and conserving joinery and plasterwork. Where elements are beyond saving, we reproduce them faithfully so the interior and elevation stay coherent.
On listed buildings and within conservation areas this is also a consents exercise — we advise on what needs listed building consent, work to the standards conservation officers expect, and carry out the craft to match. One team, accountable for both the heritage and the result.
Heritage fabric demands the right materials and the right craft — modern shortcuts cause harm.
Soft, breathable historic walls need lime-based repair; cement traps moisture and damages the fabric.
We repair sashes, plaster and joinery where the original survives, rather than stripping it out.
Where elements are beyond saving, we reproduce them to match so the building stays coherent.
On listed and conservation properties we advise on consent and work to conservation standards.
