Heritage & Conservation

With over 35 years of experience, our heritage specialists approach projects comprehensively, encompassing both the restoration of existing structures and the integration of new facilities. We are well-versed in the language of conservation and boast multiple Conservation Accredited Engineers (CARE).

Working on historic buildings with sensitivity is not just a task but a calling, acquired through unwavering dedication. We also recognise that conservation involves adeptly managing change, breathing new life into buildings through innovative solutions.

Our Engineers excel at designing solutions for issues ranging from the simple to the most challenging.  We are comfortable adopting pioneering materials, when appropriate, demonstrated in projects such as the Royal Brighton Pavilion. We specialise in revitalising historical sites with modern amenities, which is illustrated in our work at Polesden Lacey for the esteemed National Trust.
