Historic Buildings and Listed Building Consultants:

We cover a wide range of specialist services and expertise for listed buildings and historic buildings;

Schedules of Dilapidation & Repair
These reports identify specific areas of decay to the historic fabric externally, identifying the necessary remedial works and phasing it in order of priority.

Archaeological Recording
Usually archaeological recording is part of a listed building application to provide a comprehensive recording of the building before and upon completion of any works including fully documented photographic montage.

Timber Frame Repairs
Modern intervention and general exposure to the weather results in deterioration of elements of a timber frame building such as sole plates, principle posts and mid rails. As part of the ongoing maintenance programme new elements have to be spliced in using traditional carpentry methods which retain the structural function of each member of a period property that may be listed.

Consolidation of Masonry Buildings
(Including brick, stone and terracotta) Fully marked up drawings showing the extent of masonry replacement, lime mortar repairs or sacrificial coatings which will protect the facade from the natural weathering process for a number of years.

Repair/Reinstatement of Lime Mortars, Renders and Plasters
Removal where possible of inappropriate modern mortars, plasters and renders and replacement with traditional materials which will allow the building to breathe, which helps reduce damp to buildings and subsequent rot and decay to timbers.

Specifications
Full working specifications including temporary protection, materials, workmanship & methodology statements.
