Block Management Painting & Decorating in Edgbaston
Edgbaston has more period mansion-block conversions and listed buildings than almost anywhere in Birmingham. The Calthorpe Estate, the streets around Highfield Road, and the Edgbaston Village area are full of large Victorian and Edwardian properties subdivided into communal flats — and several are listed or in conservation areas.
Listed buildings on the Calthorpe Estate need breathable systems on lime plaster and microporous on original timber — modern acrylic over the wrong substrate is a problem.
Mansion-block stairwells are typically detailed — stained glass, cornicing, panelled doors — and need slow, careful work.
On-street parking is usually permit-only — bay suspensions arranged by the agent.
