After a very difficult 2020 and early 2021 with project work being cancelled and postponed due to COVID-19, work is picking up with a pace.
We have just started condition survey of mid eighteenth to mid nineteenth century sash windows and external doors on a large grade II* Georgian house.
Our consultancy work includes condition survey, scheduling and specifying traditional joinery repairs, removing poorly executed past repairs, removing modern alkyd resin paints, and redecorating with linseed oil paints. As part of this work the windows will be made fully operational with options to improve engird efficiency by minimising drafts.
Conservation and repair works will be tendered over the next few months for a site based project commencing in July this year. Work has included architectural paint analysis to clarify chronology and early and historically significant decoration schemes.
