May brought the lovely weather and enabled us to complete the repair and redecoration of the front façade of this beautiful Grade II listed property. Complete with a shiny new front door! Lime-based render repairs are essential in keeping these old buildings water-tight, finished with breathable masonry paint.

Thanks to Lewis scaffolding services for their inputs too!

We can highly recommend Lewis scaffolding services - they are our go-to partner for all projects working at height. Great team, professional, quick and respectful!

Another job, another scaffold - huge thanks to Lewis scaffolding services (again) - you can always rely on them for quick, efficient and safe service (and the neighbours went out of their way to ask us to pass on their thanks for how quick, quiet and respectful of others they were.)

Going to take some time - 24 sash windows to repair (this is the rear of the property, we’ve the front to do as well), with most mechanisms needing refurbishing and many cills completely rotten. And then lime render repairs; and then finally repainting. With a month-long project in France interrupting, it’s likely to take til the latter half of July to complete.

It’s been a while since Andy posted about our previous project, when he promised some ‘arty’ photos from me…after resolving some technical glitches I’m happy to say, here they are!

We are so pleased with the finish on this gorgeous apartment! I’d love to live there!!

The view from our workplace this week: definitely beats the office.

Another project complete: 800 hours work to gut, reconfigure, re-wire and re-plumb. And then to refurbish seven sash windows, lay flooring, and install new kitchen and bathroom. And finally to decorate...

We're really pleased with the end result

Here's the standard set of before and after photos - Naomi will post the more arty and interior design photos

One flat gutted - we now have the blank canvas: arguably the most exciting point in any renovation project.
