Heritage Rehabilitation Perth
Typically, heritage rehabilitation is done on properties that require significant alterations and are intended to be used by the general public. As such, the process goes beyond repairs and maintenance, and involves the addition of or changes to the existing structure.
In the hands of our rehabilitation experts here in K&S Restoration, this can be done with the utmost sensitivity and respect to the original building’s historic character. Our rehabilitation services include, but are not limited to:
Tuckpointing and Repointing
These involve cutting mortar joints that have either degraded or were wrongly installed previously.
Stonemasonry
If the property to be rehabilitated requires sturdy, high-quality stone structures, our experts are more than capable of delivering the skills and experience necessary in that regard.
Plastering
We specialise in using lime plaster, which is the type often used in historical buildings and (in some cases) can even be a viable alternative to cement.
Paint removal
Should the rehabilitated property require a new coat of paint, we’ll expertly remove the existing paint without damaging the original structure.
Addressing salt attack and rising damp issues
These are common issues in older buildings, which can cause significant structural damage if not attended to or detected.
Crack stitching
This method is used to repair cracks in historical or heritage buildings. In the case of significant cracks, we recommend getting the advice of a structural engineer first.
Our heritage rehabilitation experts in Perth will thoroughly assess your property and help you determine the best treatment for it. To enquire, please call us at 0474-780-648 or message us at info@ksrestorations.com.au. We look forward to working with you soon!
