We made great progress today with the start of the stucco moulding repairs, All using Roman cement, hand applied using as close to the original material as possible. Traditionaly repaired and ran in situ. Its starting to look like it was intended to. The thick layers of paint, poor repairs and historic damage had covered up some stunning details. The design of these projections is intentional, the slopes, drip members, arrises, coves and curves all work to shed water very effectively. The natural roman cement and grading of aggregates allow for evaporation of moisture. The incompatible, impervious coatings allow moisture to become trapped, causing salt and frost damage, this then leads to many more years of repairs and repainting. Dont let these beautiful buildings go to waste, incorrect repairs, coatings and poor information about historic materials is ruining our heritage. We have been inundated with stucco moulding surveys this year and every one has similar problems. #conservation #restoration #wirral #cheshire #lime #hot #romancement #liverpool #mouldings #historic #plastering
Sneaked another little job in on my way home tonight
Great progress removing the coatings and incorrect repair materials The damage caused by the rainwater outlet and security lights wiring is severe. Painting over things like this never fixes the problem. We are installing a redesigned outlet with an overflow and protecting the overhangs and mouldings with grp weathering. #conservation #restoration #wirral #cheshire #lime #hot #liverpool #mouldings #historic #plastering
All the fun of restoration in a 30 second timelapse. Removing the poorly designed internal rainwater outlet and discovering the damage caused by its continued failure. #conservation #restoration #wirral #cheshire #lime #hot #romancement #liverpool #mouldings #historic #plastering
