Why Glenunga Homes
Need a Specialist

Glenunga is where old meets new more often than almost anywhere we work. Californian bungalows with their original render and period detailing, extended at the rear with modern Hebel, Blue Board or Power Panel construction. The technical challenge is the junction. New substrates move differently to ninety-year-old solid render, and if that junction isn't detailed properly you get a crack along the seam within a couple of summers — usually right where the eye goes. Getting it right means correct control jointing at the transition, and a texture coat matched across both so the extension reads as part of the house rather than bolted onto the back of it. We do both sides of that line: authentic restoration on the original, modern rendering on the new.

Heritage Villa — Salt Damp & Interior Restoration

Salt damp had been rising through the walls of this heritage villa for years, made worse by earlier repairs in hard cement. We stripped the affected walls back to bare masonry, repointed in compatible lime mortar, and applied sacrificial lime render at the base so the salt draws out into the render rather than further into the wall. The interiors were then fully restored — ornamental plasterwork, cornice runs, archways and all.
