Heritage Conservation Services and Pricing

Each historic building presents unique challenges and opportunities. Our services address the full spectrum of conservation needs, from initial assessment through detailed restoration and ongoing stewardship.

Pricing reflects the specialist nature of conservation work, including archival research, traditional materials sourcing, and craftspeople trained in period-appropriate techniques. All figures represent starting points; final costs depend on building condition, access constraints, and regulatory requirements.

Our Core Services

Heritage Building Assessment

Comprehensive structural and historical analysis of Grade I and Grade II listed properties. We combine measured surveys with archival research to understand original construction methods and subsequent alterations. Deliverables include detailed condition reports, photographic documentation, and recommendations for preservation priorities.

Includes consultation with local conservation officers and preliminary materials analysis. Suitable for planning applications, grant submissions, and pre-purchase due diligence.

£2,450

Facade Restoration

Stone cleaning, repointing, and repair using period-appropriate mortars and techniques. We work with Georgian, Victorian, and Edwardian architecture, matching original mortar composition through laboratory analysis. Methods include gentle DOFF steam cleaning, lime mortar repointing, and carved stone replacement where necessary.

All work follows Historic England guidance and uses reversible techniques where possible. Suitable for listed buildings and conservation areas requiring sensitive facade treatment.

£8,750

Traditional Lime Plastering

Interior and exterior plastering using hot lime methods that allow historic walls to breathe while providing lasting protection. Unlike modern cement-based products, lime plaster accommodates building movement and controls moisture naturally.

We use NHL (Natural Hydraulic Lime) appropriate to exposure conditions, with traditional hair or fibre reinforcement. Finishes range from smooth trowel finish to textured coats matching original work. Essential for solid-wall historic buildings where moisture management is critical.

£4,120

Timber Frame Conservation

Repair and stabilisation of historic timber structures using oak and traditional joinery methods. We avoid steel reinforcement where possible, preferring scarf joints, dutchmen, and resin consolidation techniques that respect original construction logic.

Services include structural carpentry, beetle infestation treatment using low-toxicity methods, and replacement timbers sourced to match original species and conversion. Suitable for medieval and post-medieval timber-framed buildings, roof structures, and floor systems.

£6,890

Architectural Documentation

Measured surveys, photogrammetry, and detailed recording for planning applications and heritage grant submissions. We produce accurate drawings showing existing conditions, proposed interventions, and construction details.

Documentation meets Historic England Level 2 and Level 3 recording standards. Outputs include CAD drawings, annotated photographs, and written descriptions suitable for listed building consent applications, Heritage Lottery Fund bids, and condition monitoring.

£1,975

Conservation Management Plans

Long-term maintenance strategies for historic properties, balancing preservation requirements with practical use. Plans identify heritage significance, assess condition vulnerabilities, and establish maintenance schedules that prevent costly emergency repairs.

Includes stakeholder consultation, inspection protocols, and budget forecasting. Particularly valuable for institutional owners, trusts, and properties in multiple occupation where long-term stewardship requires coordination.

£3,340

Project Consultation

Not certain which service suits your needs? We offer initial consultations to assess your property's requirements and recommend appropriate interventions. This preliminary discussion helps clarify conservation priorities and regulatory obligations before committing to detailed work.
