Windsor has one of the most challenging housing stocks in the region — Georgian and Victorian townhouses with lime plaster, restrictive planning near the castle, and clients who won't accept a rushed finish. That's the level we work at.
Windsor is one of the more technically demanding postcodes we work in. The stock is old, the finishes are visible, and the wall spec really matters. As an owner-led team with fifteen-plus years on the trowel — including a lot of lime plaster and cornice work — we're honest at survey stage about what a wall needs and what it costs.
You'll spot our team around Peascod Street, St Leonard's Road, Sheet Street, Alma Road, Vansittart Road and the residential streets running out to Clewer and Dedworth. We also cover the Windsor Great Park side and the border with Old Windsor and Datchet.
Windsor is 15 minutes from our yard. We cover the whole SL4 postcode, including the town centre inside the conservation area, Clewer, Dedworth, Windsor Great Park side and the border with Old Windsor.
Same-day callback for Windsor enquiries, on-site surveys typically inside 3 working days. For conservation-area jobs we allow extra time for the survey because the walls almost always need lime-compatible methods.
Windsor's stock is unusually period-heavy: Georgian and Victorian townhouses in the conservation area, Edwardian and 1930s semis in Clewer and Dedworth, and a smaller amount of newer housing on the fringes. Lime plaster on lath is common in the older streets — a wall that has to be treated very differently to modern gypsum.
Common Windsor jobs: period-property restoration plastering with lime-compatible spec, cornice and ceiling rose repair, full house renovations in the conservation area, and Venetian plaster feature walls in the higher-end Windsor Great Park side properties.

The specific problems we see repeatedly in Windsor — driven by the local property mix, building age and climate. Naming them matters, because the fix changes with the cause.
Most Windsor properties inside the conservation area were built with lime plaster on riven lath. Skimming modern gypsum straight over lime hollows within a year — the answer is either lime-compatible re-plaster or careful overboarding where the lath has failed.
Cornices, ceiling roses and picture rails often have to be repaired rather than replaced. We do this work by hand — from cornice section moulding through to matching an existing profile on a new run.
Windsor's older townhouses have moved for two hundred years. Cracks re-appear at lintels and bay windows. We scrim every joint and flag anything that looks like live movement before we quote — we don't paper over structural problems.
Older Windsor properties often have damp on gable and north-facing walls where solid brick has poor insulation. Insulated boarding, waterproof render or lime-based finishes depending on the wall — we spec each one.

Same-day callback is standard, with surveys typically within 3 working days. Conservation-area jobs sometimes need a longer survey because the wall spec matters more.
Every quote is fixed and written, given 2–3 working days after the free on-site survey. Period-property work is priced transparently — lime-compatible spec is more labour, and we say so at quote stage.
Yes — regularly. We use lime-compatible methods, cornice restoration and specification-led approaches for older walls rather than a blanket gypsum skim.
