Our Period & Listed Building Home Conversions

Converting a period or listed home requires more than standard construction know-how — it demands deep respect for heritage, an eye for design and an understanding of both local and national regulations. Our team brings all three to every project.

Our period and listed building home conversions include:

  • Barn Conversions
    Our period and listed building home conversions reimagine agricultural structures into stunning residential spaces.
  • Loft & Attic Conversions
    Our period and listed building home conversions can maximise space within existing listed properties.
  • Garage & Outbuilding Conversions
    Create an annexe, studio or guest accommodation with our period and listed building home conversions.
  • Agricultural & Period Property Conversions
    Transforming traditional rural architecture into contemporary homes while preserving character.

All projects that we undertake include:

  • Full collaboration with conservation officers and heritage professionals.
  • Use of traditional materials such as lime plaster, breathable paints and hand-crafted timber.
  • Structural changes with minimal intervention and full compliance with building and fire regulations.
  • Decorative finishes matched precisely to existing features, including period coving and timber joinery.

With our certified expertise in Repair Care resin systems and extensive knowledge of breathable materials, we restore, upgrade, and adapt listed properties with exceptional care.

Your Period & Listed Building Home Conversion in 3 Seamless Steps

1

Consultation

We begin with an on-site consultation (once architectural drawings are in place), discussing your vision, the building’s condition, and regulatory needs. We conduct site investigations, material testing, and offer guidance on how to proceed compliantly.

2

Planning Your Conversion

Once drawings are approved and permissions secured, we begin planning your period and listed building home conversions, including sourcing period-appropriate materials, developing a timeline, and preparing for construction in alignment with heritage regs.

3

Specialist Construction

We carry out the construction with sensitivity to the existing building, ensuring structural soundness, visual continuity, and full compliance. We manage every aspect of the build, including liaising with building control and heritage officers throughout.
