Portsmouth
Full internal decorations programme to the Grade II listed Wellington Room, a room built in haste in 1815 to celebrate the successful return of the Duke of Wellington from the Battle of Waterloo. The works were complex due to the condition of the room, the extensive preparation required and historic water ingress in need of treatment, including the rebuilding and making good of ornate panelling and mouldings. Colours were matched exactly with the help and support of Dulux AkzoNobel using their Heritage range, Heritage emulsion to all walls and ceilings for a velvet matt finish, and Heritage eggshell to all woodwork and panelling. All floors were stripped and repaired, blending old wooden boards with areas repaired over the years to achieve a level colour with a wood dye, before waxing the complete floor area with a satin wax finish.
