The Recital Rooms
Works taken place was in a disused basement of a 300 year old, Georgian manor house in Kent. The was a magnificent project for The Historical Restoration Company to undertake.
We transformed this derilict space into a magnificent room to house 7 grand pianos. We stripped back the gloss paint from the original bricks and stones, hand built the frames and installed glass doors and new electronics, lighting, marine ply flooring, hardwearing carpets, heating and fire system. The photos below show before works and after works completeion.
Old High Street, Folkestone
The Historical Restoration Comany has been working on this beautiful Edwardian building. The bricks were tierd and worn, and originally pointed using sand and cement.
We spent many sunny weeks, in which we removed all the sand and cement, cleaned the brickwork due to a brick sealer being present and re-pointed the bricks using a traditional lime mortar mix.
The difference is amazing!

Kitchen Project
The project here was to relocate a kitchen in a Georgian manor house, whilst uncovering a Georgian ceiling.
The work entailed uncovering two original Georgian sash windows to add more light into the kitchen, floors sanded, stained and varnished, new drainage, heating and electronics and decoration throughout. A bespoke kitchen company fitted the new kitchen.

Recital Room
This room was once an old utility room, which The Historical Restoration Company transformed into a Recietal Room.
We stripped out the room, installed new insulated plaster board, electrics and heating. We plastered, painted, decorated and carpeted throughout. The finishing touch was the new grand piano.
Flooring
The Historical Restoration Company transformed worn, tierd floor of an entire ground floor living area. In 20 hours, we sanded the floor, restained the floor 3 times and varnished the floor, leaving an immaculate finish.
Boundary Wall
This wall was built with 12,500 bricks in lime mortar and traditional handmade brick.
These photos are of a wall in Deal, which had been repointed.
Corner Wall
This house in Horsemonden had an original oak beam that had rotted away. The Historical Restoration company rebuilt the corner using handmade lambs bricks. There was no colour match to match the original bricks so we colour washed and adjusted the joints to make them look like the original colour.
