We have memberships with various Heritage organisations including one with the society for the protection of ancient buildings. We take pride in supporting England’s heritage environment. The work that these groups do is vital in helping to preserve our country’s past. From maintaining the fabric of historic buildings to protecting natural sites, they play a crucial role in ensuring that England’s unique history is not lost. In addition to supporting the work of these organisations, we also believe that it is important to visit and enjoy England’s heritage sites. By doing so, we can help to raise awareness of their importance and ensure that they are enjoyed by future generations.

We provide a range of services to help you care for your historic building. Our masonry assessments, mortar analysis and specifications can help you to understand the condition of your building and make informed decisions about its future. We also offer written consultations, which can be useful if you are planning major work or want to get expert advice on a particular issue. Our charges reflect the high demand for our services and the large area we cover. We are committed to providing a quality service and hope that you will find our fees reasonable. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to get in touch.

Yes we are VAT registered but listed buildings and other heritage assets are a vital part of our nation’s history and identity. However, the costs of preserving these important structures can be prohibitive. Thankfully, the government offers a range of tax reliefs and there are grants available to help owners meet the costs of conservation. This can make a significant difference to the overall cost of heritage preservation, and it means that listed buildings and other heritage assets can be better protected for future generations. If you own a listed building or other heritage asset, make sure you take advantage of this valuable tax relief. . You can find out more here
