Listed-building repainting across Fareham and the villages
Mix of 1980s–2000s commercial units at Segensworth makes up a real share of the listed stock in Fareham. These fabrics need lime plaster or clay-based finishes internally and mineral or linseed systems externally — modern plastic emulsions are a false economy.
Method statement, in plain English
Points a listed job needs to plan
Insurance and method statement requirements for scaffolded historic work
Documentation for the property owner's compliance records
Listing grade and whether consent is required for the intended work
Existing coating history — reversibility & compatibility
Access constraints — some buildings need timber scaffold not aluminium
The typical Grade II brief here
Mix of 1980s–2000s commercial units at Segensworth, modern Whiteley village retail and apartments, plus Victorian terraces along West Street.
Audience: Owners and agents of Grade I / II listed buildings requiring conservation-aware decoration.
Where the technique has been used
- Photographic records supplied as standard for the owner's file
- Comfortable running breathable and reversible spec on listed fabric
- Coordinated with LPA conservation officers in Hampshire, Dorset and West Sussex
- Detail-protection experience on plasterwork, panelling and staircases
Listed work is a document-first exercise as much as a paint job. The survey gives you both a technical route and a paper trail for the property file.

Answers we give at pre-app stage
Do you have insurance for Grade II work?
Yes — £5m public liability and £10m employer's liability, with method statements and RAMS provided for any consented works before mobilisation.
Can you match an existing heritage colour?
Yes — we sample, cross-check to Farrow & Ball, Little Greene, Papers & Paints and Edward Bulmer, and produce a brush-out board before signing off the palette.
Do you strip existing modern paint from lime substrates?
Where the modern paint is causing spalling we can remove it using poultice or careful mechanical methods and rebuild the coating in a compatible breathable system.
How is documentation handled?
We photograph before, during and after key stages, retain product data sheets, and hand the owner a small PDF file for the property records at completion.
