Areas We Work In
Local Experts
Our village's Georgian properties, with their elegant proportions and fine architectural details, demand exceptional precision. We use traditional methods to restore and protect original features - from delicate cornicing to signature fanlights. Our experience with heritage paints ensures these historic homes maintain their authentic appearance while benefiting from modern protection.
For the Victorian terraces near the village center, we've perfected techniques for handling their unique challenges. Our knowledge of original building materials helps us address common issues like lime plaster repair and wooden sash window restoration. We use breathable paints that work in harmony with these traditional materials.
The 1930s properties around Phoenix Green present different requirements. Their distinctive bay windows and rendered facades need flexible paints that accommodate seasonal movement. We've developed specific preparation methods that ensure long-lasting results on these surfaces.
Hartley Wintney's converted farm buildings, especially around Dipley, require a careful balance between preserving rustic character and providing modern comfort. We protect exposed beams and original brickwork while transforming interior spaces with contemporary finishes.
Modern homes in newer developments benefit from our knowledge of current paint technologies. We use advanced systems that offer superior coverage and durability, perfect for today's family lifestyle. Our expertise ensures these properties receive protection that matches their contemporary design.

Interior Painting
Exterior Painting
Weather resistance begins with proper preparation. Each surface receives a tailored cleaning treatment - gentle pressure washing for older brickwork, more robust cleaning for modern renders. We pay special attention to north-facing walls where moss and algae often accumulate in our climate.
For wooden elements, so common in Hartley Wintney's period homes, we employ traditional carpentry techniques alongside modern preservation methods. Window frames, facia boards, and weatherboarding receive multiple stages of preparation: careful stripping, treatment of any soft spots, and application of flexible primers that accommodate seasonal movement.
Masonry painting demands local knowledge. We use microporous paints that allow historic brickwork to breathe while protecting against rain. Our expertise with lime-based materials ensures that older properties maintain their essential moisture balance. For modern homes, we apply high-performance coatings that offer superior weather protection.
Decorative elements get special attention. We carefully mask and protect period features while ensuring complete coverage. Our treatment of soffits, guttering, and exposed timbers prevents future maintenance issues through thorough preparation and proper paint adhesion.
Your garden features deserve the same care as your home. We treat garden furniture, sheds, and fencing with preservatives and weather-resistant finishes that enhance the wood's natural beauty while providing protection from sun and rain.
