Character kept, comfort brought up to date

Most of Notting Hill’s housing is Victorian stucco, and a period restoration is about getting the best of both worlds: the proportions, light and detail of a period home, with the warmth, services and performance of a modern one. The art is upgrading the invisible without harming the visible.

That means restoring the things that give the house its character — stucco fronts, cornices, sash windows, fireplaces, joinery and plasterwork — while discreetly renewing wiring, plumbing, heating and insulation behind them. Done well, you would never know how much has changed; done badly, the character is the first casualty.

We assess the house, restore the fabric with appropriate materials, upgrade the services sympathetically, and manage the whole project under one contract — so a period home is comfortable and efficient without losing what makes it worth owning, with honest budgets in pounds sterling.

Questions clients ask before they start

Can I modernise a period house without losing its character?

Yes — that is the whole point of a sensitive restoration. We renew the services and comfort behind the fabric while restoring the features that give the house its character.

How do you insulate a period house?

With breathable methods suited to solid walls and historic fabric, so the house stays warm without trapping moisture and causing damp.

Do you restore original features?

Yes — stucco, cornices, sash windows, fireplaces, joinery and plasterwork are restored where they survive and reproduced where they are lost.

Do I need any consents?

Often conservation-area considerations apply, and listed building consent if the house is listed. We confirm and handle the applications.

What does a period restoration cost?

It depends on the condition and the scope. We give an honest budget band in pounds sterling (GBP) after assessing the house.
