About this service
About period & listed buildings
Period and listed building work involves repairing, restoring, altering, or extending older properties with architectural or historic value. These projects often require specialist materials, close coordination with conservation officers, and a careful approach to preserving original character. Typical work includes timber repairs, lime plastering, sash window upgrades, structural strengthening, and discreet modernisation. Projects usually start from £50,000 and vary widely depending on the level of protection and complexity.
Who it's for
Owners of Victorian, Edwardian, Georgian, and listed properties who want to improve layout, performance, or condition without losing the building's character. This service suits homeowners, trustees, developers, and landlords managing heritage assets or homes in conservation areas.
