Many North London houses predate 1960. Old coats may hold lead, so we test before any stripping. Dust is then controlled room by room.

Lime plaster needs breathable paint, or it blisters and fails. Original joinery is filled and sanded, not replaced. Preparation is most of the work.

Outside, the rules tighten. In Primrose Hill, painting street-facing brick is controlled on the houses Camden schedules. On a listed house, painting unpainted surfaces is likely to need consent.

Specialist finishes are sampled on the wall before they are agreed.
