Local knowledge

Local housing stock & what it needs

Housing in Old Town is mostly weavers' cottages with mullioned windows and deep reveals, which take as long to cut in as the rest of the room. That decides the prep, and prep is most of the job. There are stone terraces with solid walls in the mix too.

Old Town is our home patch. Site visits are easy to arrange. We also cover Heptonstall, Hebden Bridge and Colden.

FAQs

Questions we get asked a lot

  • Do you cover Old Town?

    Yes. We work across HX7 and the wider Calderdale area. If your postcode is not listed, ring anyway — the boundaries are not exact.
  • Our walls are solid stone and the plaster is patchy. Can that be made good?

    Usually, yes. Solid stone walls behave differently from a modern cavity: damp shows on the inside face, and old lime plaster under a newer skim tends to let go. We would look at it before quoting and say whether it needs patching, a full re-skim, or the cause dealing with first.
  • How do you quote?

    We look at the job, then send a written quote. No charge for either, and the price does not move unless you change the work. Call or message 07784 175179.
