What Should You Restore In Your Period Property?

In every period property restoration, the building will be thoroughly inspected to know which repairs it will need.

As for the inspection and property refurbishment, our advice is to leave it to the professionals, as your house’s old fabric may be delicate and fragile. If you aren’t careful, you might do more harm than good when investigating or repairing your home on your own.

A period restoration company will focus on identifying the floors, walls, doors, and windows which show the most signs of damage or deterioration. They will carefully repair these parts while still retaining your house’s original style.

Their building restoration services will also involve searching for structural issues, draughts, or ventilation issues in fireplaces – if your home has one – and efficiently fixing and restoring them.

Joists, which are often hidden in the ceiling, will be plastered and maintained. Brick pointing and cleaning may also be necessary.

When it comes to decorating your house, a specialist can help you uncover and repair plasterwork to get back its original charming appearance.

Plan Effectively For Your Period Property Restoration

If you have already decided to restore or renovate your home, then you should prepare thoroughly! Doing so will make the home refurbishment and renovation tasks much easier for you and your chosen period property restoration specialist.

First, consider getting a floor plan made of your house. You can even draw one yourself. You can write down the number of rooms your home has, as well as their sizes.

When it comes to the walls, try to distinguish structural ones from studwork and plasterboard. Removing structural walls may involve additional costs and work compared to removing stud walls. If you have damaged brick walls, you may want to consider using London repointing and restoration services.

As for complying with the law and regulations, you should be aware of which restoration and renovation jobs require planning permission.

If your period house is a listed building, you may require planning permission depending on the London restoration tasks you want to carry out, such as re-planning the layout of the house or taking out walls.

David did an outstanding job carrying out our survey. From the outset, he put us completely at ease regarding the issue being investigated, and every stage of the process was explained clearly, including what would happen next. His level of professionalism, knowledge, and expertise was exceptional. The area of concern was assessed and inspected thoroughly, along with other related areas, and his approach was highly methodical and extremely comprehensive. It was evident that no detail was overlooked. What particularly impressed us was the additional advice and recommendations he provided regarding the further assessment of certain areas. This went far beyond our expectations and gave us great confidence in both the findings and the way the issue would be managed moving forward. It is clear that David possesses exceptional expertise in his field, and this was reflected throughout the survey and in the quality of his work. His professionalism, attention to detail, and willingness to go above and beyond were truly remarkable. I would also like to thank Faeeza, who was approachable, friendly, and extremely informative. She ensured that we understood all aspects of the appointment and explained everything clearly and professionally. Overall, I am genuinely impressed with the company and the high standard of service we received. Based on our experience, I would recommend the company without hesitation.

We had our roof and walls maintained and the whole thing was a nightmare. Not only are there still issues, they created further problems by leaving half completed work uncovered during a rain storm. The company refused to fix their mistakes and stopped answering emails. I really strongly recommend avoiding Environ. There are other companies far better to use.

Great initially, made arrangements with a tenant directly very efficiently. But ultimately, despite reassurances, we paid £504 inc VAT for a damp survey which told us we have damp. We expected to be told WHY we had damp as very aware we had it. The survey suggested we needed to purchase a different damp survey to know which kind, maybe a drains survey, and an extractor fan in the bathroom might help - all further services offered by Environ, at great additional expense. Not very transparent and not good value, in our opinion.

Have I just discovered London’s best building company? The project was the rebuilding of part of a Victorian garden party wall. This is, when I met, via Checkatrade, Environ Restoration Services, based in Parsons Green. They specialise in high end work bringing damaged brick work of London’s historic housing stock back to life. Their approach to what was ultimately only a small project for them was exceptional throughout. (One builder responding to Checkatrade wanted to survey the site after sunset in the dark, when he would have seen nothing). Environ Restoration Services sent their surveyor Reese in daylight to cast an eye over the project to establish parameters of scope and pricing. A detailed report followed. We agreed a schedule. Enter their craftsmen Santiago and Kyron, masters in the art of brick building, and very nice people to work with on site. They carefully dismantled the wall brick by brick, and were not fazed by the unexpected, such as the cantankerous root growth of a tree. They prepped a lot of the old bricks for reuse, and a good number was replaced. The result is pretty much a sight of what the wall might have looked like around 1840 - in a new state but now blending pleasingly in with the old. A great result. And the neighbour on the other side loves it too. - In my opinion, what makes Environ Restoration Services succeed where others fail is not only authoritative workmanship, but also the management behind the scenes. When I spoke to the project managers over time, every single one, especially Mishkah, was ‘on top’ of the subject, enabling us to progress matters quickly and efficiently. They are pro-active, friendly, and supremely professional. This is why the answer to my question above is a resounding yes! The Environ Restoration Services team are, clearly, miles ahead of their competitors. – This project was, quite literally, a pleasure from the first email to the last brick. – PS: And we are hoping to have them back for another project soon.

I found Environ Property Services to be extremely professional and attentive throughout. Communication was excellent at every stage, with clear and prompt correspondence that kept me fully informed. The restoration work, pointing and exterior painting have transformed the look of the house. Thanks Mishkah for always being on the end of the phone and managing the project. Reisse the surveyor and Mark site manager for putting up with me! The workmanship was of a very high standard, with great care and attention to detail. I was very impressed with the overall service and would have no hesitation in recommending Environ Property Services.
