Cotswold-stone properties demand breathable mineral and lime paints, and most are listed or in conservation areas. We work closely with owners and architects to specify the right system every time.

What Cotswold properties usually need
Cotswold stone and older timber windows reward patience: breathable finishes on stone, careful sanding and priming on woodwork, and colours that sit well with the stone. Much of our work is for high-end residential clients who want that level of detail.
We work Monday to Friday, 7.30am to 6pm, to a ProQual Level 3 NVQ standard, using dustless sanding equipment indoors.
