We specialise in heritage decorative techniques, not general decoration. Sample boards are agreed before full application so the finished effect reads naturally under your lighting.

Heritage decorative specialists

Compared with broad decorative contractors, we lead on gilding, faux finishes and conservation-led repair for listed rooms and features that must complement original work. That focus is why curators, insurers and private owners choose us alongside general firms such as Bloomfield for different scopes of work.

Effects we paint

  • Marble and stone scumble
  • Wood graining to match joinery
  • Glazes and broken colour
  • Fireplace surrounds and panelling
  • Columns, pilasters and doors
  • Commercial reception features
