Breathing life back into a neglected property.

Location: Walthamstow E17

There are lovely architectural features to be found, even in properties where developers built on mass. We recently worked for a client on a property in Walthamstow E17. The window surrounds are classic to homes in the area, and these were in a state of neglect requiring some severe TLC. Without regular maintenance, the Sills and Pillars begin to erode, and that’s what we were seeing.

We began by repairing the concrete stonework with Toupret filler. This allowed us to reform the basis of the original profiles. We then sanded then down to match the initial designs. A coat of quality primer creates the perfect base layer, followed by 2 coats of Sandtext Brilliant White masonry paint.

You can quickly see from the images we have how this has given the property a new lease of life and helped it to relive the heydays of its glory.
