Heritage and listed buildings require a unique combination of traditional craft skills, specialist knowledge, and modern construction management. Our heritage team has experience working with English Heritage, local conservation officers, and specialist sub-contractors to deliver sensitive restoration and repair works on some of the region's most historically significant buildings.
From the transformation of the historic 1926 Reptile House at London Zoo into Zoo Town, to the restoration of St Peter & St Paul Church in Little Gaddesden, we bring a deep respect for the buildings we work on, combined with the technical expertise to deliver modern standards of performance, accessibility and thermal efficiency without compromising their historic character.
We understand the complexities of working with listed buildings - from matching historic mortars and bricks to sourcing reclaimed materials, from working within the constraints of a Grade II listing to navigating the planning and listed building consent process. Our team works closely with conservation officers, architects and specialist craftspeople to deliver projects that preserve and enhance the buildings in our care.

Our Approach
Heritage construction demands patience, craft and a deep understanding of historic building techniques. We approach every heritage project with a commitment to preserving the character and significance of the building, whilst delivering the improvements our clients need. We work with conservation officers from the earliest stages, we source materials carefully - matching historic bricks, mortars and timbers where required - and we engage specialist craftspeople whose skills are increasingly rare. The result is a building that is fit for modern use, whilst retaining the character and significance that makes it special.
