The brief
The hallway had been carpeted over and boxed in during the 1990s. The owners wanted the original entrance back.

What we did
Under the carpet we found around 60% of the original tiling intact. We lifted, cleaned and relaid it, sourcing matched replacements for the missing sections.
The detail that mattered
Plaster mouldings were repaired in situ using running moulds taken from the surviving lengths rather than replaced with modern coving.
