18. email: [email_address] By definition most of his projects are carried out on listed buildings, however Patrick is very happy to consider projects on a more domestic scale. You may simply want clear-headed advice on the use of paint or colour in your own house. Perhaps you have recently bought it and are unsure where to begin. Patrick is not an interior designer. He offers non-frilly practical guidance on paint and colour issues - something that he has done on a daily basis for thirty years.

19. email: [email_address] Listed Buildings Planning consent must sometimes be obtained if painting a listed building. This depends on whether it affects the character of the building . The type of paint to be used is often a particular consideration in grade I or II* buildings.

64. Paint Analysis (1) Small samples of paint are removed from representative elements of the room being examined

65. Paint Analysis (2) The samples are set in a clear resin and numbered

66. Paint Analysis (3) When the resin has set the block is cut through and polished

67. Paint Analysis (4) The samples are then examined under various microscopes

68. Paint Analysis (5) A series of green schemes found on a garden door on a Scottish estate

69. Paint Analysis (6) Occasionally further tests are required to establish the composition of a paint layer. Here the scanning electron microscope confirms that a paint is made up of lead and zinc with small quantities of chalk and barytes added as an extender

89. Colour Measurement We are frequently asked to match the existing paint colour on an object. Here a sentry box at Kensington Palace is being measured with a spectrophotometer

90. Several hundred thousand paint colours have been measured with the spectrophotometer. These are stored on a computer and close matches can be found for most new colours.

93. Colour Matching Kensington Palace Orangery A wooden plinth had been built to prevent the base of the statue being damaged. I was asked to produce a textured paint in a colour to match the Portland stone base

95. Colour Measurement Wilton House Little Smoking Room A fragment of the wall surface on a paint matched to the overall colour of the stippled finish

96. Colour Survey Wilton House Wyatt Cloisters Each web of the vaulted ceiling had been painted in a different colour when John Fowler supervised the decoration in the 1960s. In 2008 I carried out a survey in order to be able to reproduce the colours.

101. Paint Analysis & Colour Measurement Foreign Office The original colour of the external ironwork was established. Paint has also been matched in various locations within the building.

102. The Griffin and Millstone is the Baty heraldic badge. The Griffin was the crest of my grandmother's family but, following a petition to the College of Arms, she has been given a millstone to indicate our long involvement with paint and colour. The millstone also refers to the burden carried by my branch of the family who were “relieved” of a considerable inheritance.
