Nearly all types of building require a major renovation every 25-30 years.
This will include things you cannot see like the lathes that hold up your roof
tiles, they are only timber and will not last for ever. Large areas of brickwork
may require re-pointing to keep out the wet. The older the building the more
likely that this type of renovation is required.
We have quality professional Plasterers, Plumbers and
Electricians who regularly work alongside us to bring
your building renovation or restoration to a speedy
conclusion and can turn this..

A completed building restoration
Usually when we conduct building renovations the client also requires some
form of additional improvement that can range in scale from the large extension
to the small porch on the building
above.

Restoration and Listed Buildings
Huntingdonshire is full of Listed Buildings, there are over 70 in St Ives
alone. As a result of this proliferation we conduct many building projects on
Listed Buildings.
Restoration works on terraced cottages in Needingworth
They require a wholly different approach than the
modern building project.
Even the type of cement used is different, in point of fact it is not really
cement but usually a Lime Mortar and using the wrong one can cause serious
structural damage and extreme damp problems.
Building works on Listed Buildings and very old properties is a task best
conducted by those that understand their unique requirements. Another
characteristic of old buildings is that NOTHING is a standard size, this
was when everything was custom made on site at the time of the build. We come
into our own here as bespoke master carpenters we can manufacture everything from window
frames and doors to the
timber stairways inside your building in exactly the same way the originals were
constructed many years ago
giving you a true restoration.
