Older homes need a different approach. Traditional materials matter. Skilled repairs make all the difference.
With over 20 years of hands-on renovation experience, I carry out traditional lime pointing, masonry restoration and the kinds of careful repairs that often fall between trades.
Every project is approached with an understanding that older buildings need compatible materials and sympathetic methods to protect both their appearance and long-term health.
The aim is simple: to preserve older buildings through skilled workmanship, clear communication, and repairs that respect the character, history and fabric of your home.
Traditional Lime Pointing & Masonry Restoration
Specialist lime pointing and masonry repairs for period and character properties.
I carefully remove inappropriate cement mortar and carry out sympathetic brick and stone repairs, repointing and restoration using traditional lime mortars - helping older buildings breathe, stay weatherproof and retain their original character.
Roof Repairs & Leak Diagnosis
Roof problems are often about diagnosis as much as repair.
I take on roof leak investigation, lead work, valley repairs, ridge repairs, chimney repointing and targeted roof repairs where a full replacement is unnecessary.
The focus is on solving the problem properly, not patching symptoms.
Decorating & Finishing Work
Decorating is not just paint - preparation is everything.
I take on full room redecoration, hall / stairs / landing work, exterior decorating, masonry paintwork and the repair work that often needs doing first.
Especially in older homes, the finish depends on understanding what sits underneath.
Practical Repair Projects
Some jobs do not need a builder, but they still need to be done properly.
Timber repairs, gates, doors, porches, exterior repairs, smaller structural fixes and practical maintenance projects all fall into that space.
The work is varied, but the standard is always the same: careful, reliable and built to last.
