Understanding the intricacies of Victorian and Edwardian building restoration is at the core of EFG's services. Heritage homes require special care and attention, as they are built differently compared to modern constructions. For instance, the materials used in building these homes, such as lime-based mortars, need specific restoration techniques that are sympathetic to their original construction methods. EFG specializes in these traditional techniques, ensuring that every restoration project captures the authentic look and feel of the bygone era.
One of the foremost challenges in restoring Victorian and Edwardian homes is managing the deterioration of woodwork and plaster which are common in period properties. EFG's team is adept at tackling these issues, using cutting-edge technology alongside traditional skills. They carefully assess each project, identifying areas that require immediate attention and planning a comprehensive restoration approach. This ensures not only the aesthetic renewal of the property but also the enhancement of its structural integrity.
Another aspect where EFG Cleaning and Restoration excels is in enhancing the energy efficiency of heritage homes without compromising their historical value. Victorian and Edwardian homes can often be draughty and energy inefficient. EFG advises on and implements solutions such as discreetly installed insulation and high-efficiency heating systems that maintain comfort while preserving the home’s unique aesthetic.
In addition to handling structural restorations, EFG also offers meticulous cleaning services tailored for heritage properties. These homes often have delicate surfaces and finishes that can be damaged by conventional cleaning methods. EFG uses specialized cleaning techniques that are gentle yet effective. This not only enhances the appearance of the home but also prolongs the life of the materials used in its construction.
Collaboration with conservation officers and adherence to regulations is an integral part of EFG's restoration process. The team ensures that any work complies with the local and national guidelines for heritage properties, avoiding potential legal issues and maintaining the integrity of the historic fabric.
