My favourite kind of paint removal, The paint around the stone ballusters can be removed fairly easily with compressed air. This is the least destructive method we have available. There are not many places like this unfortunately, so being the glory hunter that I am I was quick to jump on this bit... #conservation #restoration #lime #stucco #wirral #Cheshire #liverpool #plastering #romancement #hotlime
I may employ 18th century techniques during my working day but I also enjoy technology. Especially the latest commands that Google assistant now recognizes... #googlehome #shutthefuckup #heygoogle
A view of one of the porches when we very first arrived. Not looking very healthy or pretty at all.. Many attempts have been made in the past to rectify what may actually be a historic design flaw, The sandstone carved grilles have been buried into the lower part of the porch and a Portland cement plinth was later formed around them, layers upon layers of paint, caulk and cement coatings were then added to try and seal them in.. When we stripped everything back it was apparent that the sandstone grilles in fact do not make much contact with the stone copings above or the bricks below (they are packed on the left and right edges with slate) A clear gap can now be seen above and below So my theory is to maintain this gap to prevent ingress. Sounds simple enough We will have to see if it is possible.. #conservation #restoration #lime #stucco #wirral #Cheshire #liverpool #traditional #plastering #romancement #hotlime
All 3 porches were suffering from serious problems all arising from water ingress, through the open joints in the paint covered stone copings, due to the loss of the drip edge underneath the coping being blocked up over the years, botched flashings to the flat roof within and water penetration through the bases of the sandstone grills. Making this all work effectively will be challenging, there are many hard angles to form on each one and the junction between the grills and the bricks below has to be perfect #conservation #restoration #lime #stucco #wirral #Cheshire #liverpool #traditional #plastering #romancement #hotlime
