Here is a Grade 2 listed house in Truro we are currently working on. As you can see from the pictures, the angles on the window reveals are done freehand without the use of angle beads, which is the old fashioned way, as required by listed building regulations.
After applying the base coats we finished with a finer sand to get that smoother finish. Once dry we applied a traditional building technique known as ashlar cutting which gives the “ block effect “.
