Our period and listed home renovation services are designed to address the unique needs of period homes. This means we can ensure they maintain their architectural beauty while benefiting from modern comfort and function. We work alongside consultants, architects and local authorities to ensure every project is fully compliant with planning and period building regulations.
Our period and listed building home renovations include:
We use breathable, specialist paints and materials to protect period properties from moisture damage. We meticulously restore and redecorate interiors and exteriors to enhance original features without compromising the building’s breathability.
Using advanced and approved resin repair methods, we can restore timber windows, sills and frames. This means we can effectively restore rotten wood and extend the lifespan of original features, without replacing them unnecessarily.
We have expertise in lime-based products, including mortars, renders and plasters. This means we can ensure your property breathes naturally, stopping damp and structural damage common in older homes treated with the wrong materials.
Our skilled craftsmen collaborate with engineers and building control to deliver safe, compliant and reliable structural repairs. Whether you need timber frame renovations or hidden steel reinforcement, we can help.
Every period and listed building home renovation we undertake is completed with meticulous attention to detail. Whether we’re matching century-old coving or replicating historic paint finishes, we guarantee an authentic result.
