Challenges and Objectives

Historical Preservation: The project required meticulous attention to detail to preserve the historical significance of Godmersham Park House.

Coordination: Working in collaboration with an interior designer meant ensuring seamless communication and alignment on the design vision.

Solutions and Execution

Strip Out: We commenced the project by carefully stripping out the old materials and fixtures from the entrance area. This initial phase was conducted with great care to avoid any damage to the underlying historical structures.

Replastering: Once the area was prepared, we undertook the task of replastering the walls. Using traditional techniques and materials that matched the historical context, we ensured the walls were smooth and ready for the next steps.

Relining: We then relined the walls, providing a fresh and even surface that would serve as the perfect canvas for the designer’s vision. This step was crucial for achieving a flawless finish in the final stages of the project.

Wooden Door Restoration: One of the highlights of this project was the restoration of the internal wooden doors. Lovingly restored by our skilled craftsmen, the doors were brought back to their former glory, preserving their historical character while ensuring they were functional and aesthetically pleasing.

Painting: The final step in the refurbishment process was painting. We applied high-quality, historically appropriate paint to the walls and doors, carefully selecting colours that complemented the overall design scheme and respected the house’s historical context.
