Services
Wallpaper installation
Expert installation of specialist wallpapers including handmade grass papers, metallic leaf papers, and digitally printed murals. Our team ensures perfect alignment and finish through professional techniques, including lining paper application to prevent shrinkage and staining while enhancing durability. We work on both period and contemporary properties.
Lincrusta application
Advanced level installation of Lincrusta wallcoverings featuring deep embossed patterns. We handle all preparation requirements including surface sizing and lining paper application. Our expertise extends to decorative painting techniques that highlight the intricate textures and create either classic or contemporary effects.
Specialist paint effects
Application of specialist paint finishes such as marbling, graining, and shabby-chic effects. Our trained decorators use premium AkzoNobel products to achieve bespoke results that complement the property's architectural style while maintaining dust-free working environments through modern sanding equipment.

This environmentally friendly approach retains period architectural integrity at a fraction of replacement costs.
