Historic Buildings
We carry out extensive works to listed and historical buildings throughout the UK, as such we understand the importance of preserving such buildings and their surrounding area.
Our 34 years’ proven track record of delivering maintenance works to listed buildings of architectural and cultural significance such as Balmoral Castle, Windsor Castle, and The Houses of Parliament to project work on the Sandringham Estate and for the National Trust is testament to our capability in the sector.
We provide a team of specialist individual, capable of delivering works in line with historical significance and to each client’s required standards.
We engage specialist teams who have extensive knowledge and experience in this field, ensuring consistent quality levels in adherence with the specification and our client’s requirements.
When working on historical buildings we appreciate the need to continually conserve the structure and surrounding grounds, maintaining the integrity of the conservation approach, and the importance of ensuring works are delivered to an exceptional standard. To achieve this, we select teams with the sensitivity and skill to restore buildings to the original splendour using traditional technics combined with modern technology to maximise the life cycles for our clients.
Close collaboration is key to achieving high quality results.
Our procedures for working within heritage and listed buildings involve working in collaboration with our client and heritage officers to maintain the conservation of each building. We work closely with each client and the appointed conservation specialist to identify products and materials which conform to the architectural and cultural significance of the building. Following this, we work with our supply chain to ensure the products specified match the colours and materials used in the original building.
We take great care to avoid access methods which could damage the building itself, therefore we implement methods such as ensuring scaffold is not tied to the structure. On each project our management team dedicate time and resources to ensure we fully understand each client’s objectives, whilst maintaining integrity of the conservation approach. Care and attention are taken throughout works to ensure that the overall finish is as natural as possible and in keeping with the unique ambience of the property.
We have been working successfully with the National Trust for over 18 years.
