We understand that restoring a period or listed building requires far more than general construction experience. It demands knowledge of traditional materials, authentic techniques, regulatory compliance and a keen eye for detail.
Our period and listed building home restoration services include:
Our services include repairing and rebuilding timber frames using both traditional joinery and modern resin systems, such as those certified by Repair Care. We can restore decayed beams, replace rotten sills, and reconstruct timber structures.
Matching and restoring historic mouldings, covings, and decorative finishes is an art. We take samples, analyse layers of paint, and reproduce exact matches using hand-crafted restoration techniques to maintain the architectural harmony of your space.
Our lime plastering specialists use a variety of breathable lime mortars, renders, and putties, tailored to each project. Breathability is essential to the longevity of period properties, and we ensure all materials work in harmony with the building’s natural moisture cycle.
Incorrect paints and finishes can damage older structures. We apply fully breathable paints suitable for period and listed building restorations, ensuring correct vapour permeability and aesthetic authenticity.
We liaise directly with conservation officers, architects, and building control to ensure all work complies with local authority requirements. Our professional team manages documentation, reports, and site coordination.
