As well as being good for the environment, these materials are great for anyone who suffers from asthma, any other respiratory problems or is sensitive to fumes and odours. To add to their eco credentials, Giuseppe and the team even cycle to work when they can, so do not be surprised if they turn up on bicycles! The eco paint we use contains natural ingredients such as plant extracts, clay and natural oils which means no chemicals or pollutants are released into your home or business offices.

If the rot is minor, we tackle this by cutting back the rotten timber, treat the remaining timber and then apply a permanent, two-part epoxy resin repair care treatment. If it is more serious, we can create a historically accurate replacement. Our draft proofing service includes renewal of sash cords and windows are balanced to ensure easy opening. Sash windows cords are prone to break. We address this by balancing the windows and then replacing the cords with polyester cords which adds toughness.

Gilding is a traditional process that involves applying a thin layer of gold or silver to wood, metal plaster or glass. We have applied our gilding skills in a variety of ways. In Cambridge you can see examples of our gilding skills in the 15/16th century dining hall of Trinity Hall, and on the main clock tower and weathervane at the Museum of Archaeology and Anthropology. In other places, both domestic and commercial, we have gilded mirrors, picture frames and furniture.

Fo this project we were using Farrow and Ball paints, alongside looseleaf gold for the exetensive part of this project. This church near Cambridge is Grade 1 listed with parts dating back to the 13th Century. Our task was to paint the Nave ceiling and involved working closely with church authorities and the local planning office to agree the approach taken, and type and colour of paint to ensure historical authenticity.
