Our Listed Building Restoration Process

1️⃣ Initial Assessment & Consultation

The restoration process begins with an in-depth consultation where we evaluate the condition of your listed building. We identify areas that need repair or restoration and create a plan that complies with listed building regulations. We will also discuss your vision and any modern requirements you’d like to incorporate into the restoration.

2️⃣ Detailed Survey & Planning

Once the initial consultation is complete, we conduct a thorough building survey to assess the condition of structural elements, finishes, and materials. Based on this survey, we develop a detailed restoration plan, ensuring it respects the building’s original character while bringing it up to modern standards.

3️⃣ Obtaining Permits & Approvals

Restoring a listed building requires careful consideration of local conservation area policies and obtaining the necessary planning permissions. Our team handles the paperwork, ensuring all legal requirements are met, and you have the green light to begin the restoration.

4️⃣ Restoration & Repair

Our skilled craftsmen begin restoring your listed building using period-appropriate materials and techniques. Whether it’s repairing the stonework, restoring wooden beams, or reviving traditional plasterwork, we use methods that respect the building’s history. We also integrate modern conveniences where appropriate, ensuring your building remains functional.

5️⃣ Final Touches & Preservation

Once the main restoration work is complete, we focus on the finishing touches. This may involve restoring original features such as fireplaces, windows, or doors, ensuring the final look is in keeping with the building’s historic aesthetic.
