Keep the Brighton details that matter before choosing replacements.

Prepare the façade before choosing the final appearance.

Peeling coatings, damaged render and deteriorated trim need different preparation from a sound surface that simply needs a new colour. We assess the visible condition, define the affected materials and protect the adjacent openings and retained surfaces before agreed removal and repairs.

Where staining or repeated deterioration suggests an unresolved moisture issue, the cause needs attention before repainting. Brighton contains varied housing and identified heritage places; exterior changes are checked against the actual property rather than assuming every house has the same restrictions.

Repair or replace openings as part of the renovation.

A window or entrance change affects the frame, sill, adjacent wall and internal reveal. We distinguish components suitable for retention from those needing replacement, then include the associated wall repairs and finish boundaries in the exterior scope.

Replacement selection considers dimensions, operation and the way the unit meets the existing building. Glazing, changes to the size of an opening and any structural implications require the relevant practitioners and assessment. New paint or surface filler is not a substitute for resolving a failed component or an unsuitable installation detail.

Bring the inside of the opening to completion.

An exterior upgrade can leave plaster damage, exposed edges or a changed junction with the floor inside. Interior work can include repairs around reveals, replacement of agreed trims, preparation and repainting of the affected wall, or a wider room refresh where a small patch would remain conspicuous.

If a kitchen or living area is being renewed at the same time, we coordinate the position of cabinets, furniture clearances and floor edges with the new opening. Retained rooms and decorative features are identified before work starts.

Finish the connected surfaces and check operation.

The final coating is selected for the prepared material and exposure, with the agreed adjoining areas brought to a clear finish line. Door and window operation, accessible hardware, visible junctions and the completeness of internal making good are checked against the scope.

A repair may blend well without being an invisible match to weathered original material. Samples and defined finish areas help settle that choice. George can discuss a façade-led project or linked interior work, while any ongoing condition requiring specialist investigation remains a separate, visible item.
