Restoration andHeritage

Listed buildings, chapels, warehouses and ruins

Restoration is slow, careful work and we staff it that way. Our heritage team surveys every element before anything is removed, and repairs in like-for-like materials wherever the building allows.

What is included

  • Measured and condition surveys
  • Listed building and monument consents
  • Lime mortars, stone repair and timber conservation
  • Structural stabilisation and underpinning
  • Discreet integration of new services
  • Archive record of every intervention

Design-Build

What is included

  • Site appraisal and feasibility
  • Concept and developed design in-house
  • Planning and permit applications
  • Structural and services engineering
  • Fixed-price construction contract
  • Aftercare and maintenance planning
05 — Questions

What clients
ask first

Timelines, budgets, permits, warranties and how we keep you informed. Anything else, ask us directly.

Start a project
  • A private house usually takes 14 to 24 months from first survey to handover, depending on the site and the permits. Commercial projects run to a programme we agree before contract, and we report against it every week.
