Georgian, Victorian, and Edwardian Bespoke Property Restorations and Conversions

Are you fortunate enough to own an elegant Georgian period property, with their large sash windows and high ceilings, or do you have a beautiful Victorian Villa filled with beautiful original period features? Or do you enjoy the original stained glassed windows in your bay window that is typical of Edwardian period property.

If you do, you probably take more than a passing interest in keeping your property in a good state of repair, so future generations can also enjoy the craftsmanship that has been lavished on your home or business premises when it was originally built.

So the thought of letting any old builder lose on your much loved period property probably fills you with a certain level of trepidation, having seen some previous repairs by other “Builders”, we can understand why. When you restore, renovate, alter or extend period property many builders work hard and use their skills well, it’s not just about making sure the brickwork and jointing is neat. Early period property often had what are described as “close joints”, simply meaning that the joints between the bricks should be keep thin so they match in with the rest of the building. How often have you seen a beautiful period property that has “suffered an unsympathetic extension”, the problem is that once it is built it is almost impossible to justify demolishing the extension and rebuilding an extension that has been carefully planned to match the original building.

It is very simple to build an extension to a period property that looks in keeping with the character of the original structure. You just need to do a little research, make sure you allow enough time to source reclaimed or special order materials. It is also advantageous to reproduce architectural features like stone lintels, mullions, or brick arches to match in with the original parts of the building, but care must be taken because if the match is not done carefully small details soon stand out. Unfortunately if the whole job is beautifully finished and one of the stone lintels is not quite in proportion, that will be the first thing you notice every time you pull up outside your property.

So the only thing you really need to make your restoration or extension to your period property run smoothly is an experienced and dedicated project manager, who benefits from having a team of dedicated and enthusiastic architects and tradesmen to make your contribution to your period property be as appreciated in years to come as the original building.
