We’ve successfully delivered repair and regeneration projects for Grade I and II* listed castles, public buildings, country houses, Scheduled Monuments, listed churches and Manor Houses, as well as new sustainable design and use of alternative technologies.
We’re specialists in the assessment of historic buildings and structures. This involves: giving advice and recommendations on their current condition, options appraisals and feasibility studies for repair and development and, importantly, protection of their ‘sense of place’.
This includes a building’s historical development, construction techniques and details. We make sure as much information is gleaned about the existing structure, its current situation and condition, before beginning to assess its repair possible alteration. It’s only with this insight that we can effectively resolve technical solutions to future repair strategies and understand the potential for sympathetic improvement.
Not only are we a team of specialists in our individual fields, we act as specialist consultants to other architects who need high-level building conservation advice or technical guidance.

"The collaboration between architect and contractor has been exceptional and resulted in a restoration of the highest quality. The attention to detail and quality of work have been meticulous. Lime render has been used throughout in accordance with the strictest conservation practice. In spite of encountering difficulties en route, the work has been completed on schedule.”
Chairman of the St Oswald Church's building committee
It’s been very exciting to be part of the work involved to bring a 16th Century Grade II listed pub in Northampton back to life. It has had a colourful life, in continual use as an inn since the 15th century, burnt down and e-built twice in the 16th and 17th century but continued thriving through the centuries until it sadly closed in 2018. We are leading the conservation work to refurbish the inn for the Churches Conservation Trust. A recent archaeological dig has made some fascinating finds, to read more about it use the link in our bio.

Our Associate Architect Amy Redman is just back from a hands-on working party in Alstonefield, Staffordshire. Organised by the Society for the Protection of Ancient Buildings (SPAB) it was also her chance to catch up with Scholars on the 2024 SPAB programme
@spab1877 believes that the best way to learn traditional building skills is through hands-on experience and we agree. The working parties offer a unique opportunity to learn from some of the country`s leading craftspeople.
Here`s a snapshot of what we got up to, involving hard work but lots of fun too! Read the full story over on our website.
