📍 Runswick Bay, North Yorkshire
The objective? Remove the layers of modern paint and see what lies beneath. The result? We hit the jackpot: historic limewash! 🎉
For a coastal property like this, finding traditional limewash is the best-case scenario. Modern, plastic-based paints trap moisture, which can cause serious damage over time—especially with that salty sea air. Luckily, this beautiful cottage is being restored the right way. We're stripping away the suffocating paint and being re-limewashed using traditional, breathable methods. 🛠️✨
🔍 Why we always sample first:
I always carry out on-site samples before starting a project. It’s the ultimate way to:
1️⃣ Determine the safest, most effective removal method.
2️⃣ Manage expectations.
3️⃣ Guarantee the absolute best outcome for both the customer and the building.
Drop a ❤️ if you love seeing traditional buildings restored properly!
