Bristol’s Listed Building Decorating Specialists
Conservation Area vs Listed Building
A conservation area covers the character of an area. A listed building carries statutory protection for both exterior and interior.
Lime-Compatible Paints
Original Georgian lime plaster must have breathable coatings. See our limewash and period finishes page for specific products.
Original Cornicing and Plasterwork
Your decorator addresses cracks with lime filler. Masking is done around, not directly on, fragile surfaces.
Planning Guidance
Your decorator advises on the likely consent position. See our Georgian property painting page for combined project detail.
