About Farnham
A historic Surrey market town at the southern edge of the service corridor — Georgian and Victorian period stock with consistent plastering and decorating demand.
Farnham is at the southern limit of the service corridor. The town has a Georgian market town character — Castle Street and the surrounding conservation area contain substantial period properties with original plaster details, sash windows, and traditional construction. The surrounding villages add executive residential to the mix.
Farnham is a planned run for us — not a daily area. We cover it when work in the area justifies the journey from Harefield. Contact us to discuss — we'll be straight about whether it's feasible.
Common problems
What goes wrong in Farnham's housing stock.
Georgian lime plaster
The Castle Street and conservation-area properties have solid walls and lime plaster — modern gypsum traps moisture, so they need breathable, traditional repair.
Sash window decay
The Georgian and Victorian stock has original sash windows that lose their paint film and let water into the timber — proper strip, repair, and repainting protects them.
Period repair & refurbishment
Tired plaster and damaged detail in the older houses benefit from full plaster refurbishment rather than patch-and-paint, keeping the period character intact.
Neighbourhoods we work in
A Georgian market town at the corridor's edge.
Farnham is the southernmost limit of our service area. The town has a genuine Georgian market-town character — Castle Street and the conservation streets around it hold substantial period properties with original plasterwork, sash windows, and traditional construction. The surrounding villages — The Bourne, Wrecclesham, Rowledge — add executive residential to the mix.
It's a town that values its heritage, where period-sensitive work is expected and appreciated.
