The Project
Alongside our institutional and landmark work, Summit Conservation has long experience restoring Georgian and Victorian residential properties throughout Dublin and the surrounding areas.
Period homes are built in a fundamentally different way to modern houses — solid masonry walls, lime mortars and breathable finishes. Repairs need to be compatible with that traditional construction, or they create problems rather than solving them.
Conservation Approach
Work on a period home usually combines several disciplines on one elevation, sequenced so that each repair supports the next.
- Façade restoration to brick and stone elevations
- Brick and stone repairs
- Lime mortar repointing
- Gentle cleaning appropriate to the material
- Traditional lime renders
- Decorative stonework and architectural details
- Slate roofing
Georgian & Victorian Period Homes
Attention to Detail
The character of a period home lives in its detail: carved stone door and window surrounds, window details, decorative brickwork, cornices and parapets.
These are the elements most often lost to unsympathetic repair, and the ones we take most care over — matching materials, profiles and finishes so the repair sits quietly within the original.
Before & after
Repointing and cleaning — the difference it makes.
The Result
Period homes repaired with methods compatible with their traditional construction — breathable, durable, and true to the architecture.
