Key questions for homeowners:
When is a full restoration needed? If the building has suffered significant decay, inappropriate prior works, structural movement or is in a conservation area.
Who should I involve? Engage a heritage-experienced conservation builder early. Coordination with architect or surveyor may be required.
How much will it cost? Restoration is more expensive than standard refurbishment because of specialist materials and trades; however value is retained in the building’s character and longevity.
How long will it take? Depending on scale, full restoration may take months to years; we provide a realistic timescale at survey stage.
What about sustainability? We always integrate breathable insulation, moisture control and low-impact materials — making your building more efficient without damaging its heritage.
