heritage works

Listing celebrates and provides protection to the nation’s special buildings, and anyone can recommend a building for listing through our application process. Once a building is listed, changes which might affect its special interest have to be managed through the planning system. Listing covers more than just castles and stately homes, and can include banks, garden walls, shops, mills, bridges, synagogues, factories and more. Not all listed buildings are centuries old and many are still in use and often require skilled workers to maintain and restore often old building methods.

Listing buildings of special architectural or historical interest began in the 1940s, with the Town and Country Planning Acts of 1944 and 1947. The list is currently compiled under the terms of section 1 of the Planning (Listed Buildings and Conservation Areas) Act 1990.

As highly skilled craftsmen we specialise in the conservation and restoration of heritage buildings and monuments, taking pride in restoring them to their former glory so they can be enjoyed for years to come.

From the beginning of our careers we have worked hard to be the best and gain recognition within the industry for our exceptional quality of craftsmanship. Our reputation for professional project management skills precedes us, and we have been trusted to work on some of England’s finest heritage buildings.
