CHISLEHURST EXTERIOR RESTORATION – FULL PROPERTY RENEWAL

Service Type: GEODEC Heritage / GEODEC Complete
Location: Chislehurst, London
Client Type: Residential
Project Scope: Full exterior refurbishment, timber restoration, sash window repairs, masonry stabilisation, and complete repainting.

This striking period property in Chislehurst required a complete exterior refurbishment after years of weather exposure had caused significant timber deterioration, failed coatings, and weakened masonry. GEODEC was commissioned to restore the property back to its former elegance while ensuring long-term durability and protection.

From initial survey through to completion, GEODEC provided full project management, including scaffolding, welfare, materials, repairs, and a complete decorating system, ensuring the client received a seamless, professional experience.

• Carefully inspected all sash windows and timber features.
• Removed all rotten and failing wood.
• Installed new timber sections where required (splicing in to match existing profiles).
• Carried out specialist resin repairs to strengthen weakened frames.
• Scraped back all old, flaky and failed coatings to a sound surface.
• Fully re-puttied glazing using traditional linseed oil putty for authenticity and longevity.
• Applied preservative primer to protect against future moisture damage.

• Stabilised failing masonry areas.
• Filled cracks and imperfections to restore the façade.
• Thorough preparation of all substrates to ensure maximum adhesion and a flawless final finish.

We used high-performance, long-lasting professional systems to protect and enhance the property:

• Dulux Weathershield Exterior High Gloss – Pure Brilliant White
  Applied to all timber windows, door frames and joinery for a bright, durable, weather-resistant finish.
• Dulux Weathershield Masonry – Pure Brilliant White
  To restore the exterior walls with superior protection against mould, moisture, and weathering.
• Zinsser AllCoat Exterior (Matt Black)
  Applied to decorative beams and detailing for a sharp architectural contrast and long-term performance.

To maintain air quality and ensure a clean working environment, GEODEC used dustless sanding technology, providing:

• Cleaner, healthier air
• Better surface preparation
• A smoother, more professional finish

GEODEC coordinated and managed:

• Full property scaffolding
• Safe access and working platforms
• On-site welfare provisions
• Daily site management and oversight

This ensured the project was delivered safely, efficiently, and to the highest professional standards.

The transformation of this property is exceptional — a full revival of the façade that showcases the beauty of the period design while ensuring modern, long-lasting protection.

The symmetry, detailing, freshly restored sash windows, and crisp contrast between pure brilliant white and matt black elevate the property back to its original architectural grandeur.

This project demonstrates GEODEC’s expertise in:

• Heritage-sensitive restoration
• Complex exterior refurbishments
• Premium quality finishing
• Complete project management from start to finish

A flagship example of craftsmanship, care, and technical proficiency.
