The right skills for buildings that matter.

Questions
Listed building FAQs.
Listed building consent is required for any works that would affect the character of a listed building — internally or externally. This includes repairs that change the materials used, as well as alterations, extensions and internal changes. We advise on whether consent is required and manage the application if so.
Yes — with the right approach. Many listed buildings can be made significantly more comfortable and functional while remaining fully compliant. We advise on what is achievable and work with the local conservation officer to agree a sympathetic approach.
The materials should match or be compatible with the original construction. For masonry, this typically means lime-based mortars rather than modern cement. For roofs, matching slate or clay tile. We advise specifically for your building and source appropriate materials.
Unauthorised works to a listed building can be a criminal offence. Retrospective listed building consent can sometimes be obtained, but this is not guaranteed. We advise on the options and can support an application for regularisation where appropriate.
