Regency and Victorian villas

St John's Wood is known for its Regency and Victorian villas, mansion blocks and leafy streets. In houses of this age, timber windows, doors and joinery are often where the care is needed most.

How we work

Repair first, then decorate

Where timber is damaged, we repair and restore it rather than replace it, and decorating follows once the repairs are sound.

Your dedicated project manager agrees the scope and price before work starts and remains your single point of contact. We have a team of around 20 decorators, and our decorators have 15+ years of experience.

Can damaged sash window timber be repaired?

Yes. We repair and restore sash windows and other timber using Repair Care resin repairs, rather than replacing them.

How do you strip old paint from windows and doors?

We use Speedheater infrared to strip old paint, varnish and putty from windows, doors and woodwork, inside and out. It's gentle on the surface and uses no chemicals, so period joinery can be restored rather than replaced, and it's ready to paint straight away.

Do you paint the outside of villas?

Yes. Exterior and heritage painting covers render, stucco, masonry and timber, including lime and silicone rendering, with scaffold and permits managed by Bellefair.

Can you decorate a flat in a mansion block?

Yes. Our teams are tidy and discreet, furnished rooms are protected, and preparation is dust-controlled.

Is there a guarantee on your work?

Yes. Every project is backed by a 2-year workmanship guarantee. The guarantee does not cover leaks, damp, structural movement or underlying defects. We hold £5 million public liability and £10 million employer's liability insurance, and insurance documents are available on request.

How much does it cost to restore sash windows?

It depends on the number of windows and the condition of the timber, so we inspect first and agree the scope and price before work starts. Contact us through our contact page or call 020 3540 9963. We reply within one working day.
