Time-served tradesmen restoring historic buildings and conserving heritage
We’re trusted by custodians – construction professionals, public sector organisations, housing associations, and owners – to restore their buildings and protect heritage. We deliver all forms of specialist restoration works, structural repairs, and building maintenance.
We’re skilled tradesmen. Together we bring centuries of experience in stonemasonry, stonework repairs, roofing, leadwork and carpentry for sandstone facades, slate roofs, lead detailing and other age-old materials. All services are delivered in-house by our expert team, assuring our clients of the people and processes being followed on site. We combine traditional craftmanship with modern project management.
We take great care with every building and structure we’re trusted with, planning projects meticulously, executing works exactly, and never compromising on quality. Our clients count on us to deliver to specification, on time and on budget - every time. Understanding that we’re working on properties often at the heart of busy communities, we’re just as careful in our approaches with residents and neighbours, too. It’s a privilege to work on and maintain exceptional buildings.
