Listed-building repainting across Petersfield and the villages
Listed Georgian buildings on the Square makes up a real share of the listed stock in Petersfield. 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

The typical Grade II brief here
Listed Georgian buildings on the Square, flint cottages across Steep and East Meon, and modern equestrian-belt homes outside town.
Audience: Owners and agents of Grade I / II listed buildings requiring conservation-aware decoration.
Where the technique has been used
- Detail-protection experience on plasterwork, panelling and staircases
- Regular use of linseed, silicate and clay-based paint systems
- Discreet phased programmes on occupied Grade II properties
- Photographic records supplied as standard for the owner's file
The right next step is a walk-round with the LPA constraints in front of us — we can then agree the spec in writing.

Answers we give at pre-app stage
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.
Do you work on churches and heritage properties?
Yes — we've supported church and heritage-site works via faculty jurisdiction, working alongside the architect's specification rather than replacing it.
