If you are an owner or a custodian of buildings with historical significance, we can advise on the best techniques to care for them and make sensitive changes that will mean your heritage assets are both successful and sustainable.

A good heritage advisor should be able to provide you with:

The Right Accreditation – All members of our Heritage and Conservation team are either on the Register of Architects Accredited in Building Conservation (AABC), are RIBA Conservation Registered or CIAT Conservation Registered.

The Right Skills – Conservation architecture requires a specific skillset, including preparing specialist condition reports on listed buildings, dealing with bespoke repairs, targeting specific conservation needs and advising on complex adaptations. Conservation architects also need to have a sensitive eye to be able to sympathetically introduce new interventions into the historic fabric.

The Right Experience – Not all historic buildings are the same, but all require detailed knowledge, understanding and experience of working in this field. For example, conservation techniques for 1960s post-modern buildings are very different to those needed on medieval timber-framed structures and our teams benefit from having worked on a wide range of historic and conservation projects, helping you to make the best of your building.

Our specialist Heritage and Conservation Division would love to discuss your requirements in further detail and to understand how their specialist accreditation, skills and experience could be of assistance. If you would like to find out more, please contact us.
