Why Deal's older properties need different treatment.
Properties near the seafront cope with more airborne salt and damp than a house further inland, and it shows up indoors as much as out - original sash windows in particular need the right primer and paint system, or the sashes stick shut within a season. Older plaster around Middle Street needs to breathe rather than be sealed under a modern coating that traps moisture behind the surface. We assess the building before we assess the paint colour.
Sash windows.
Careful preparation and painting that keeps sashes moving freely, using systems suited to old, often slightly imperfect original joinery rather than treating it like a modern uPVC frame.
Older plaster and joinery.
Preparation matched to the actual substrate underneath - not every period property in Deal is built the same way underneath the surface, and treating them all identically is how damp problems get sealed in rather than solved.
Pricing.
Period property work is priced individually after we've seen the actual building - send photos and we'll tell you honestly whether it fits our published room prices or needs a proper site visit first.
