Architectural Paint Research

Architectural Paint Research (APR) is a process whereby we can determine through examining various layers of the paint the original decoration of an element in a room or building. It is an important tool to determine not just the colours, but also the paint used and when each scheme was carried out. Using this method, you can also work out the dates a door or a window might have been installed by counting how many layers of paint have been added compared to the rest of the room.

Restoration

Our approach to restoration is rooted in respect for history, craftsmanship, and architectural integrity. Whether conserving centuries-old decorative schemes or reviving interiors damaged by time, decay or disaster, we blend traditional techniques with contemporary conservation standards. From delicate painted surfaces to intricate gilding and plasterwork, our team of expert artisans and conservators work with precision and sensitivity to restore historic buildings to their former splendour—ensuring their beauty and significance endure for future generations.

Restoration and Conservation

Our company’s core team of highly trained professionals combines extensive experience across the arts, decoration and conservation sectors with a shared ethos for delivering excellence. In 2001, we were honoured with the Royal Warrant as Decorators and Gilders by appointment to HM Queen Elizabeth II. The Royal Warrant was awarded for the work that H&H completed on the restoration and decoration of Windsor Castle.

To prolong the life of such valuable investments, the company can also provide a tailored maintenance programme to ensure treasured installations are always exhibiting that just finished appearance.

Our plan for the future

2025 has begun with the appointment of new management with a dynamic vision and mandate to expand opportunities in the conservation & heritage sector as well as generate controlled growth whilst fully respecting and retaining the traditions and ethics of the company. Hare & Humphreys new MD Thomas Wallerand states that “our founding principles of quality, fairness, integrity and a warm customer focussed service will remain implicit in all that we do as we grow our business, and our people without compromising customer satisfaction.
