Heritage Restoration Excellence

Our Historic Property Restoration & Sales service represents the pinnacle of heritage property expertise, combining deep knowledge of conservation principles with practical restoration guidance. We specialise in Grade I, II*, and II listed buildings, working with conservation architects, specialist craftspeople, and heritage consultants to ensure appropriate restoration approaches that honour each property's unique character.

Understanding the intricate requirements of heritage regulations, we provide comprehensive guidance through planning permissions, building consent processes, and listed building applications. Our team maintains relationships with local planning authorities and conservation officers, ensuring restoration projects proceed smoothly while meeting all regulatory requirements.

From Tudor timber frames to Georgian stonework, Victorian ironwork to Edwardian tiles, we understand the specific restoration techniques required for each architectural period. Our approach celebrates historical significance while incorporating sympathetic modern improvements that enhance comfort and functionality without compromising architectural integrity.

We coordinate with English Heritage, local conservation groups, and specialist suppliers to source authentic materials and traditional techniques. Our restoration projects often qualify for heritage grants and conservation funding, which we assist clients in securing to offset restoration costs.
