We look at the building itself, roof, walls, floors and services, before a figure goes on paper. A renovation quote guessed from photos is a quote that changes later.
Roofs, lintels, joists and damp get sorted before a single finish goes on. Decorating over a structural problem is money spent twice.
The same team runs the job from strip-out through to the final coat, so nobody is waiting on a subcontractor who has moved on to another site.
Lime work, stone repair and slate on the older stock, and modern insulation, membranes and heating alongside it. The building decides which is right, not habit.
