Tenement flats and sandstone villas in Hillhead, Hyndland, Partick, Kelvinside and Dowanhill, decorated with the care period homes need.
Most of the West End was built in red and blond sandstone between the 1870s and the 1910s, and it shows in the details: deep cornices, ceiling roses, tall sash windows, shutters and panelled doors. Those details are why people buy here, and they are easy to spoil with rushed preparation or the wrong paint.
We fill and sand old plaster properly, pick out cornices by hand, paint sash windows so they still open, and use breathable paint where older walls need it (our guide to breathable paint for tenements explains why). In flats we keep the dust and mess inside the room we are working on.

Yes. We fill hairline cracks and repaint cornices and ceiling roses by hand so the detail stays crisp. If plaster is broken or missing, it needs a plasterer first, and we will tell you when we quote.
