James Slater & Co
Cirencester
19 Dyer Street, Cirencester, Gloucestershire, GL7 2PP, Cirencester
Since 1988, James Slater & Co has provided a unique blend of RICS-chartered surveying and creative architectural design. Based in Cirencester and Ludlow, we specialise in the conservation of historic buildings and the delivery of high-end residential and commercial projects.
35 Years of Expertise in the Heart of the Cotswolds
Since our Director, James Slater, founded the practice in 1988, we have evolved into one of the region’s most respected multidisciplinary firms. We don't just provide reports; we provide solutions. Our team of Chartered Surveyors, Architectural Designers, and Conservation Specialists works together to ensure your property journey—whether buying, building, or restoring—is handled with precision and local insight.
A Unique Blend of Surveying and Architectural Flair
What sets us apart is our ability to see a project from every angle. We bridge the gap between technical surveying and imaginative design.
- For Buyers: Our building surveys are famously thorough and pragmatic, designed to save you money and stress by identifying issues before they become your problem.
- For Homeowners: Our design team creates tailor-made extensions and renovations, ranging from traditional Cotswold stone repairs to bold, zinc-clad contemporary additions.
Specialists in Listed Buildings and Conservation
Working with historic structures requires a delicate touch and a deep understanding of local planning policy. We are experts in the repair and conservation of listed buildings, maintaining a high success rate for Planning and Listed Building Consent. We speak the language of Conservation Officers, ensuring your vision for a historic home is realised without compromising its heritage.

Managing Your Project from Concept to Completion
We take the weight off your shoulders by managing the entire construction process.

We ensure budgets are respected, deadlines are met, and the craftsmanship meets our exacting standards.
