What This Project Required

Challenge

The property required clear conservation compliance and material compatibility while addressing moisture stress and surface deterioration. A generic render approach would have jeopardised both performance and approvals.

Our Solution

We delivered a conservation-led methodology with appropriate lime binders, aggregate profile matching and staged curing controls. All details were designed to preserve visual authenticity and structural breathability.

Result

The upgraded envelope balances heritage appearance with modern reliability, giving the owner confidence in long-term facade performance and planning compliance.
