Heritage & Conservation
Sussex is full of buildings that deserve better than modern shortcuts. We repair and restore them with the materials and methods they were built with.
Old buildings, proper methods
Period and listed buildings fail when they're repaired with the wrong materials: cement where lime should be, uPVC where timber belongs. Our heritage work uses traditional techniques and matching materials, so repairs last and character survives.
From leadwork on church and school roofs to restoring the sash windows of a Sussex cottage, we work carefully, document everything, and coordinate with conservation officers where consent is needed.

Craft backed by process
Heritage skill and modern compliance aren't opposites. You get traditional craftsmanship, with RAMS, insurance and documentation a managing agent or diocese can sign off.
