The company serves a broad audience, including conservation professionals, homeowners, and design enthusiasts, offering deep expertise rooted in historic paint analysis, lime-based materials, and authentic period decoration techniques. Britain & Co’s mission is to promote and preserve the country’s rich architectural history through intelligent, sensitive approaches that both respect and revive original features. Their work draws on historical scholarship, field research, and practical skill to deliver finishes that are true to their period and materials that are compatible with traditional substrates. At the heart of Britain & Co’s work is a commitment to material authenticity and craftsmanship. Their services include historic interiors consultancy, colour scheming, paint stratigraphy, decorative paintwork, and specialist application of lime paints and washes. They are frequently engaged by private homeowners, conservation architects, museums, heritage organisations, and ecclesiastical bodies who require advice or implementation of works that demand a refined understanding of historical context and technical precision. The team works across Georgian, Regency, Victorian, and Edwardian interiors, as well as earlier buildings, ensuring that every project reflects the right aesthetic language and construction logic. In addition to consultancy and specialist application, Britain & Co supplies a bespoke range of paints and finishes, many of which are made with natural pigments and lime bases that replicate historic formulations. Their in-house paint range is tailored to heritage applications and is often supported by detailed, project-specific research. Whether working on an early 18th-century town house, a Victorian civic building, or a medieval parish church, their interventions are always designed to enhance the architectural integrity and historic narrative of the space. The company is also recognised for its ability to communicate complex material histories in accessible ways for both professionals and laypeople. Britain & Co also operates as a knowledge hub, providing training, workshops, and writing for professionals and enthusiasts alike. Through lectures, seminars, and tailored learning experiences, they help others develop practical and theoretical knowledge of historic finishes, lime-based techniques, and decorative craft traditions. They maintain a significant presence in the national conversation around conservation best practice, advocating for the value of skilled trades and traditional knowledge in the stewardship of historic buildings. Their educational offerings complement their hands-on work, reinforcing their belief that conservation is as much about learning as it is about doing. For those undertaking the conservation, restoration, or reinterpretation of historic interiors, Britain & Co offers a rare combination of technical skill, scholarly insight, and creative execution. Their work not only restores surfaces but also uncovers and interprets the stories embedded within walls, ceilings, and joinery. With a portfolio that spans the UK and includes a wide range of historic building types, they have become a trusted and respected name in the building heritage conservation sector, particularly among those who value rigour, beauty, and historical fidelity in their projects.
