Camden Museum, 44 John Street

CC Consulting proudly presents the restoration of the Nixon Room at Camden Museum for Camden Council, a heritage remediation project delivered with care and precision.

Working inside an operating museum, our team sealed off the room to protect the rest of the building, then safely removed lead paint from the original ceiling timber slats. Water-damaged ceiling timbers were replaced with hardwood slats matched to the existing profile, gaps sealed with flexible timber sealant, and the ceiling repainted in its original colour.

Cracked wall render was repaired using traditional plaster materials and methods, a sand, cement and lime mix, and all painted surfaces were colour matched to the existing finishes. The works were completed with air monitoring and a lead clearance certificate.

A second package refreshed the museum's exterior: painting of six windows and timber battens, replacement of damaged battens, and new galvanised quad guttering with two replacement downpipes, finished with bird spikes to keep them clear. Colours were matched to the heritage palette: Taubmans Woolooware on the gutter and window frames, with Portland Stone on the battens.
