We have extensive experience working with Independent Schools that have sites of historical significance, including both listed and non-designated heritage assets.
We’re thrilled to have completed some exciting projects in conservation areas, greenbelt parkland, rural settings, and Sites of Special Scientific Interest. We’re experts in navigating complex planning regulations.
Our team combines our skills in historic building preservation and new design in protected landscapes to create unique Independent Schools projects.
We know that each school has its unique teaching approach, and we’re committed to adapting our design solutions to suit your needs. By working closely with you from the beginning, we can tailor a design that supports learners’ diverse needs and responds to external factors and environmental changes.

The team at @ukrestorationservices have now made safe the fire damaged remains of St Aloysius Chapel in County Durham. This is truly the beginning of an exciting journey of resurrection and conservation of this Lutjens Gem. What would you like to see happen here?

Seventy six meters above the ground, Paul inspects the works at the 1873 Lister Mill in Manningham, Bradford. Grade II* listed and of an Italianate style of Victorian Architecture, it was dubbed Listers Pride by Samuel Lister who commissioned its construction as part of the largest textile mill in the north of England. These re-stabilization works will help conserve the structure while a long term use is established as part of the Mills conversion by @weareurbansplash
Thanks to @highlife_rope_access for their expertise in making these works possible.

A great action-packed day was had by Paul and Luke last week at the annual SPAB / STBA conference, at the Hospitium in York, a splendid venue within the grounds of the ruined St Mary’s Abbey and York Museum Gardens.
A fantastic range of talks and projects, of particular interest were designs show casing design excellence and innovation within heritage settings, including Tonkin Liu Architect’s - York Minster Centre of Excellence and Jo Lugg from the National Trust, speaking on Castlefield Viaduct regeneration.
It was also great to hear from others who are utilising the latest technology to preserve and protect heritage assets, whether this is through 3d digital scanning or through the recording of environmental data.
The day was wrapped up with evening drinks at York Art Gallery.
