Heritage & conservation

We have many years of experience of specifying appropriate repairs, assisting with renovations and conversions and carrying out inspections of historic buildings and structures across the UK.

We work closely with other heritage professionals to ensure our engineering solutions are appropriate and sympathetic to the building or structure. Following the Society for the Protection of Ancient Buildings approach, we use proven principles and practical techniques to conserve historic buildings for the future.

As well as being able to assist with the conservation of historic buildings, we are also able to provide a range of expertise for projects, including temporary works design, geotechnical support and drainage and pavement design.

We work with local authorities, stakeholders and private homeowners, as well as larger clients such as The National Trust.

Our work covers:

  • Residential properties

  • Estates and country homes

  • Vernacular buildings

  • Agricultural buildings

  • Places of worship

  • Public buildings

  • Commercial heritage

  • Assessment of existing foundations

  • Structural advice on proposed alterations or conversion plans

  • Design of repairs and new interventions
