🏛️We recently completed the full restoration of this beautiful historic portico alongside our friends carefully balancing traditional craftsmanship with the requirements of conservation to some flats in Balham .
The existing delaminated mortar was carefully removed, before the damaged cornice detail was meticulously reinstated. The original profile was taken like-for-like, ensuring the replacement remained faithful to the building’s architectural character and proportions.
Throughout the restoration, we used natural lime-based materials, selected for their compatibility, breathability and suitability for historic masonry.
The completed portico was finished using a breathable KEIM mineral paint system, providing a refined, durable finish while allowing the building to continue to breathe naturally.
Every detail matters when working with historic architecture.
