Wilson George Restoration: Masters of Historic Wall Covering Conservation

Mission: Upholding Excellence in Cultural Heritage Conservation
Wilson George Restoration is committed to preserving the United Kingdom's rich architectural heritage through the meticulous restoration of historic wall coverings and ceiling panels. As supporters of esteemed organizations such as the Society for the Protection of Ancient Buildings (SPAB), the Institute of Historic Building Conservation (IHBC), and the Institute of Conservation (ICON), the company upholds the highest standards in conservation practices. Their mission emphasizes excellence and engagement in safeguarding cultural heritage, considering each building's fabric, historical context, and social significance.

Specialization in High Relief Wall Coverings and Ceiling Panels
Wilson George Restoration specializes in restoring high relief wall coverings and ceiling panels, including renowned materials like Lincrusta, Anaglypta, Cameoid, Corticine, Lignomur, Salamander, Worley, and Tynecastle. These materials, produced in Britain from 1877 onwards, are integral to the nation's architectural identity. The company's expertise ensures that these intricate designs are meticulously conserved, maintaining the aesthetic and historical integrity of heritage interiors.

Comprehensive Restoration Process
The restoration process begins with a thorough site survey to assess the condition of the historical wall coverings or ceiling panels and identify any factors contributing to their deterioration. Wilson George Restoration provides detailed project costings and advises on necessary remedial work prior to restoration. For listed building consent or planning applications, they supply comprehensive documentation as part of a heritage statement, detailing the historical significance of the materials and outlining plans to reinstate any sections affected by works.

Replication and Compliance with Modern Standards
Beyond restoration, Wilson George Restoration offers services to replicate entire period-embossed high relief ceilings, drawing from an extensive library of existing moulds. Importantly, the materials employed in their restoration processes comply with British Building Regulations Part B, section B2, achieving a B-S1-D0 classification under EN 13501-1:2007+A11:2009. This compliance ensures that all materials can be safely used on any wall and ceiling surface linings, including communal areas, aligning heritage conservation with modern safety standards.

Engagement with Conservation Professionals and Enthusiasts
Wilson George Restoration actively engages with conservation professionals, property owners, and heritage enthusiasts by offering additional services such as 3D replication, material identification research, and analysis through Lincrusta Heritage. This collaborative approach fosters a deeper understanding and appreciation of historic wall coverings, ensuring that these significant elements of architectural heritage are preserved for future generations.
