Working with older buildings calls for a particular set of specialist knowledge,  skills, expertise and full understanding of historic building techniques and methods.

If you are considering buying a listed building, need help with listed building conservation or preparing to submit an application for alterations or an extension, we can work on your behalf to ensure that Local Authority Conservation department requirements are met in full. Traditional building materials have different characteristics to modern ones and adding a modern structure to a historic one needs specialist knowledge and skills.
