2009 PDA AWARD WINNER

Bletchley Park was the historic site of secret British codebreaking activities during World War Two and was the birthplace of the modern computer. Prior to this it was an estate of great local importance, belonging to British gentry.

ESK redecorated the drawing room, a project which won third place in Painters and Decorators Association in the 2009 Premier Trophy Awards. This is one of the most ornate rooms in the Milton Keynes area and its traditional period finishes had to be maintained. The panelling on a single main wall meant the ESK specialists had approximately 1,480m of beading to cut in.

“ESK have performed well and coped with our programmes which have to be flexible to accommodate visitors and conferences.”
David Dowsing, Operations Director, Bletchley Park

ESK was awarded the contract for the complete repair and repainting of Bletchley Park’s mansion, one of the original buildings which dates back hundreds of years. It had not been redecorated for more than 30 years so ESK removed all unsound paintwork and carried out numerous timber repairs which will protect it for another 12 years.
