Interior finishes in Cranbrook

Work in Cranbrook — postcode TN17 3 — comes overwhelmingly through weatherboarded cottages and farmhouse extensions. White-weatherboarded Wealden town under the Union Windmill. We layer the townhouse stock that gives the area its character briefs alongside as they arise. Local property values sit in the strong tier (median around £780k), and our client mix here is overwhelmingly designer- and architect-led — we're brought onto the shortlist at spec stage rather than pitching cold. Because this is a dense listed-building conservation area, our specifications here lean vapour-permeable and reversible — natural limewash, hand-brushed high-end paint, and clay-plaster substrates. Anything that would trap moisture behind period joinery gets refused at survey. Roads we're most often on: High Street, Stone Street, The Hill. Nearest arterial addresses in the same market: Sissinghurst, Hawkhurst, Benenden.

What we specify for Cranbrook clients

Natural limewash for period walls

Mineral limewash paint on original lime plaster — vapour-permeable, mineral-bonded, ages softly. The correct finish for pre-1919 stock; wrong for plasterboard.

High-end paint schedules

Full-house schedules in Farrow & Ball, Little Greene, Paint & Paper Library, Edward Bulmer and Bauwerk — brushed by hand on walls, sprayed on joinery. 8–14 colour schedules the norm on a whole-house brief.

Venetian plaster feature walls

Authentic slaked-lime marmorino and stucco veneziano, applied in three or more thin coats and burnished to a marble-like sheen. Sample boards produced against your designer's schedule before we start on site.
