Our love of building restoration began over 20 years ago, when we moved to rural France and spent six years restoring a number of traditional properties — both our own and for others. It was a hands-on adventure and a steep learning curve, where we refined our skills in traditional building techniques, from stone walling and roofing to pointing and rendering.

​

Before that, Jez had completed a City & Guilds in General Building and worked as a painter and decorator, laying the foundation for our work today. Since returning to the UK, we’ve taken part in a wide range of restoration projects, and in recent years have developed a particular focus on breathable, eco-conscious paint solutions for lime-rendered buildings.

 

There’s nothing we love more than seeing the transformation of a beautiful, characterful home. We’re always looking for practical, long-lasting, and cost-effective solutions that honour a building’s history while giving it new life. We use environmentally friendly paint systems, and we’re proud to work with some of the most sustainable and forward-thinking brands leading the way in breathable finishes.

With a background in design, Niki can also offer colour and finish advice to help you achieve the look and feel you’re after — whether that’s timeless and

traditional or more contemporary.
