Work near the Windrush valley tends to involve the older end of the local housing stock. Recurring themes here include Cotswold stone barn conversion exposed beam staining and the careful prep needed before any topcoat goes near traditional UK construction methods typical of Witney. We've developed a sequence for these properties that addresses the substrate first — fillers, primers, and stabilisers chosen for the specific construction — rather than relying on the paint itself to compensate for poor preparation.
