Experience with Devon Properties
Exeter and Devon have their share of older properties - Victorian terraces, period cottages, 1930s semis. Each has its quirks, and I've worked on them all.
Old Doors & Frames
Period properties often have doors that have been painted many times, frames that have settled. I know how to work with these sensitively.
Lime Plaster Walls
Older homes need different repair techniques. No cement on lime plaster - it needs proper care.
Original Features
Skirting, architrave, coving in older styles - I can match profiles and repair sympathetically.
