Villa
We are experts in Auckland villa restoration.
Until 1965, many paints on the New Zealand market had high lead levels. This was particularly true of pre-1945 paints. Even if a building was painted after 1945, layers of old lead paint may be under the more modern paint. We are experts in testing for lead paint, and its safe removal, with appropriate precautions to ensure building residents, their pets, and our team are not exposed to dangerous levels of lead.
We prepare villas for painting with dust extraction, sanding, and scraping. We apply solvent based wood primer to rimu, kaori, matai, and cedar weatherboards and windows. We can address rot and epoxy filler and remove wallpaper.
We are experts in restoration and painting of sash windows, bay windows, fret work, balustrades, finials, and batton ceilings.
We can improve insulation with skrim and prepare for painting with full skim plastering.
We are experts in the interior and exterior painting of historic buildings, and will bring that keen eye for detail, breadth and depth of specialised knowledge, and soft touch to your villa.
