Heritage Restoration & Timber Rot Surgery in Camberwell

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.
Timber Surgery: We excise rot and use Epoxy Reconstruction Systems (like Repair Care) to permanently bond and save original joinery.
Lead Management: We use HEPA Vacuum Scraping to remove toxic lead paint without contaminating your family garden.
Historical Palettes: We curate colours that honour your home’s era, not just what’s trendy.

Scientific Restoration for Edwardian Icons

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.

100 Years of Lead. Zero Dust.
The Risk
Sanding old lead paint creates toxic dust that settles in your soil.
The Protocol
We don’t sand; we scrape with HEPA Vacuum Attachment. We encapsulate the waste and cover your garden beds, ensuring your home is safe for children and pets.
