Heritage Restoration & Timber Rot Surgery in Camberwell

Stop "patching" over the rot. We use surgical epoxy systems to save your Federation windows and heritage joinery for the next 50 years.
Epoxy timber surgery repairing rotten windows in Camberwell heritage home.

In Camberwell, a house is more than bricks and mortar; it’s a piece of history. But 100-year-old timber rots, and layers of lead paint crack. Standard painters just “fill and paint” over the problem.

At Golden Deco, we are Heritage Surgeons. We don’t just refresh; we reconstruct.

  1. Timber Surgery: We excise rot and use Epoxy Reconstruction Systems (like Repair Care) to permanently bond and save original joinery.

  2. Lead Management: We use HEPA Vacuum Scraping to remove toxic lead paint without contaminating your family garden.

  3. Historical Palettes: We curate colours that honour your home’s era, not just what’s trendy.

Stop Filling. Start Healing.

The Band-Aid

Standard fillers trap moisture and pop out in 6 months.

The Cure

We surgically remove the rot and apply flexible Epoxy Resin. It moves with the wood, is stronger than the original timber, and saves you thousands on replacing windows.
