Local to Saltburn-by-the-Sea

## Saltburn is a special bit of stock - and we treat it like it.

Saltburn is one of the best-preserved Victorian seaside towns in the country. The Jewel Streets, the Marine Parade terraces and the surrounding conservation area are full of original features worth keeping - and easy to ruin with the wrong materials. We work with the building&#x27;s fabric, not against it: lime-based pointing and plaster where appropriate, breathable damp solutions, sympathetic joinery and decoration.

- Direct coastal route in - fast response for both emergency and planned work
- Period property specialists: lime plaster, sash repair, breathable damp systems
- Trusted by Saltburn landlords, holiday-let owners and conservation-conscious homeowners

Common in Saltburn-by-the-Sea

 Talk to Gary

### Gypsum over lime - blown plaster on solid walls
Many Jewel Street and Marine Parade walls have been gypsum-skimmed over lime by previous trades. The gypsum traps moisture and blows off in patches. We strip back to a sound substrate and reinstate with lime or other breathable systems.

### Penetrating damp through soft pointing
Exposed Victorian brickwork loses its lime pointing to wind-driven rain. We rake out and re-point with lime mortar, allow the wall to dry properly, then re-plaster internally in a breathable system.

### Original sashes and mortice locks
Many Saltburn properties still have their original sash windows and mortice locks. We service, draught-seal and re-fit rather than rip-and-replace - and upgrade locks to BS3621 British Standard where required.

### Snapped UPVC cylinders on modern stock
Modern infill housing across TS12 sees the same snapped-cylinder pattern as the rest of Teesside. 3-star Kitemarked anti-snap cylinders sized to the door - fast fix with 3-star Kitemarked hardware (check your own insurer&#x27;s requirements).

### Holiday-let and B&amp;B turnarounds
Quick changeovers between bookings, photo records of every visit, owner-direct invoicing. Locks, plumbing, joinery and decoration covered by one team.
