Our services
Design & Planning
Using a close network of professionals to design and advise, we will strive to achieve the best whether it's a restoration or new project. Good knowledge is essential when planning any project.
Period properties can often require more detailed planning to ensure the character isn't at risk of being lost during refurbishment and to utilise the difficult spaces these old building quite often have. While the interior design is essential the design process doesn't have to stop there, we can also assist with the exterior planning and landscaping.
Restoration & Refurbishment
With our experience and knowledge of restoring and refurbishing period properties to their former glory we can provide you with the home you have always dreamed of. As well as restoring your property’s strength and maintaining its charm, we can also introduce modern day services to make life easier and more comfortable.
We understand the historical importance and need to preserve these types of buildings and will carry out our work with the upmost care. We cover all aspects from the structural integrity of the building to the high standard finishing. Understanding our client’s needs and what they would like to achieve for their property is our number one priority.

Extensions & Alterations
Adding an extension or making alterations to your property can be a good way of providing additional space although careful consideration should be made especially when working on listed buildings as agreement from your local conservation department will be required.
Extending your property will most likely be the favoured option by conservation as they like a clear and obvious distinction between old and new. It is important to use the correct professionals such as ourselves in these circumstances to address the requirements of not just the clients but also the conservation and planning departments.
