Restoration, Conservation & Surveying of Traditional Buildings
We specialise in the restoration and conservation of traditional buildings across Shropshire and the West Midlands. Our work focuses on using breathable lime mortars, sympathetic cleaning methods, and skilled repair techniques to preserve the character and integrity of older structures. We also offer professional building condition and damp surveys, helping homeowners and property managers understand and address issues before they become serious problems.

- Lime Mortar Repointing – breathable, colour-matched mortars that protect and enhance historic masonry.
- Chimneys & Brick Repairs – lime-based rebuilds, crack stitching and like-for-like brick replacement.
- Lime Plaster & Renders – traditional interior and exterior lime finishes that allow buildings to breathe.
- Superheated Steam Cleaning – gentle façade cleaning without the use of chemicals.
