Briggs & Son — Decorative Finishing for Listed & Heritage Homes
John Briggs & Son Decorative Finishing Enquire

The finish a listed building deserves

Decorative Finishing
for Heritage Homes

Wallpaper hanging, gilding, graining and colour matching, carried out by decorators who read historic fabric before they touch it.

“

Every room we take on already has a history. Our work is to continue it, not overwrite it.

What we do

Specialist finishing, not general painting and decorating

Wallpaper Hanging

❖

Difficult and delicate papers — hand-blocked prints, silks, flock and other historic patterns that don't forgive a poor hang.

Gilding

❖

Gold leaf to cornicing, mouldings, mirror and picture frames, and decorative plasterwork.

Graining & Marbling

❖

Traditional faux finishes, reinstated or matched to existing period work.

Paint & Paper Matching

❖

Sourcing or mixing to match an existing scheme, including historic ranges no longer in standard production.

Sash Window Refurbishment & Redecoration

❖

Overhaul, draught-proofing and repainting of original sash windows, finished to match the rest of the scheme.

Painting & Redecoration

❖

Full room schemes carried out with conservation-appropriate paints and finishes, from panelled walls to plasterwork.

Matched, not replaced

A palette built up over decades, held to exactly

Colour, finish and sheen matched to what's already on the wall — not the nearest tin off the shelf.

Fifty years in the craft

Our lead decorator, Paul, marks fifty years in the trade this year — five decades spent on high-end properties and luxury yachts across the UK and Europe. That standard now sits inside a business built on the conservation of listed buildings, so every commission gets the same care we'd bring to a listed façade.

“

To positively impact as many listed and period properties as we can, through conservation, craft and consultancy.
