Project Gallery

A while ago I had the privilege of going into a major construction project in London to take photos of people at work.

This photo was shoot during a visit to the reconstruction of the Othon building in the center of São Paulo, where now it is going to be the Finance Secretary. It is a historic patrimony declared by the government, in which some special people stayed in, such as the british princess, a korean embassador and many other relevant people in the past years.

I first worked with Billy in 2016 when I was an office manager, and he continued to work with us on many different projects for over 7 years. He is very reliable, professional, and always punctual. I could trust him completely, even with the office keys. Billy is helpful and consistently delivers work to a high standard. I highly recommend him.

My extractor fan fell off my wall in the kitchen. After searching for and the job being rejected by several firms, William from Elite services contacted me and said he would do it. He came and after having to take it apart and fashioning new holes, fixed it to my wall within an hour. Very nice man, efficient and very good price for the service given. Will definitely plan to use his service again.

Bill was great and left the place very tidy afterwards.

Traditional Fabric & Condition Survey

PurposeA specialist pre-restoration assessment of a period or listed property’s fabric. Focus is on how the building breathes and where past interventions (cement, sealed finishes, inappropriate coatings) are harming performance. This informs accurate scopes, sequencing and budgeting before you commit to major works.What We Examine• Moisture behaviour &amp; ventilation paths• Inappropriate or failed repairs (cement pointing, trapped finishes)• Masonry &amp; lime mortar condition• Timber elements (visible structural / joinery issues)• Localised movement indicators (visual only)• Damp risk factors (bridging, hard plasters, impermeable paints)• Thermal / breathability conflicts (e.g. sealed internal linings)Deliverables• Photographic log (numbered, cross-referenced)• Priority matrix (Urgent / 6–12 months / Long-term)• Recommended traditional repair methods (lime, timber, breathable finishes)• Phased remedial / restoration action plan• Budget guidance bands (broad ranges, not a tender)• Optional follow-up call to refine project scopeScope &amp; LimitationsThis is a fabric-focused advisory report. It is not a structural engineering calculation, invasive opening-up, or an official RICS Level 2/3 homebuyer survey. Where specialist input (structural engineer, M&amp;E, damp lab analysis) is advisable, we flag it.Process1. Pre-survey call &amp; basic photo exchange2.

Fast, careful small works for high-spec homes and sensitive period properties. I handle the tasks that need expertise—but not a full project mobilization: minor leaks, door and window adjustments, furniture &amp; appliance mounting, snag list completion, small plaster or lime patch repairs, fixture refitting and discreet cosmetic fixes.
