FE Stacey Ltd were asked to restore this lovely picturesque Tudor house. It had been painted in sand text and had rotting laths and damaged cob walls due to inappropriate cement and paint being used.

The first stage was to dry scrape all of the old textured sand text paint off. We then were able to asses the substrates on the building. We carried out the cob repairs using the same mix that we dug up locally and used willow that we found growing near the house at the local stream.

All the rotten lath was replaced with new, lime rendering work was carried out to replace the concrete sections.

The house was then repainted using a tallow based lime wash supplied by the paint company Rose of Jericho.

This grand country house dates back to the 18th century.

Fran and the team were asked to decorate the whole house and re plaster and patch where the substrates had failed. The house was painted throughout using Rose of Jericho paints.

The fireplace was stripped to reveal the fine details and then re-painted. We restored the fireplace surround and panelling finishing both off with an antique glaze to pick up the fine detailing.

We carried out the restoration of the mahogany banister where some of the mahogany veneer had lifted or was missing. It was then French polished. We also re-polished the pine and oak floors which at some stage had had a dark modern wax applied.

FE Stacey Ltd carried out a full restoration and refurbishment of this Old Vicarage including securing all necessary consents and managing the construction process.

The work involved removing existing bituminous and cement renders replacement with insulating lime render. A problematic concrete floor was broken out and replaced with a new breathable limecrete floor on recycled glass aggregate.

There was also significant work to the roof structure including new patent glazing in the previous 20th century extension. Finally, we relocated the stairs up to the the 3rd floor to create a light filled central atrium.

This cottage was in a poor state of repair as the main roof was leaking and the roof on an adjoining cottage had collapsed.

FE Stacey Ltd were brought in to initially fix the main roof. We then re-plastered and re-pointed using lime. Although some of the rooms, due to extensive water damage, had to be completely stripped back to the bricks and re-plastered others were just patched up ready for decorating.

We then decorated using traditional paints including soft and casein distempers. We also hand painted the kitchen and the built in furniture.
