FAQs

Common Questions

Most heritage-listed buildings need approval from the local council or relevant heritage authority before work begins — that approval sits with the building owner and their heritage consultant. We're happy to work alongside your consultant and provide any specification detail they need, and we won't start work that requires sign-off until it's in place.

Yes — where a moulding is too far gone to save, we can reproduce it on site to match the original profile and detailing, using the surviving sections (or historical photos, where available) as the reference.

Yes, and the difference matters for older buildings. Lime is more flexible and breathable than cement, which suits the way heritage masonry was originally built to handle moisture — using a modern cement-based system on an old building can trap moisture and cause more damage. We use traditional lime-based materials specifically for this reason.

Yes — many older buildings have lead-based paint in original coatings, and we follow safe removal, handling and disposal procedures for it as a standard part of heritage restoration work, not an optional add-on.
