Preserving the North’s Architectural Heritage

For over two decades, we have served as trusted consultants to The National Trust and English Heritage. Our work isn't just about buildings; it's about history. We’ve managed high-profile restorations like Wordsworth House in Cockermouth and Grade I listed structures in Newcastle.

Whether you own a Grade II cottage or an Ancient Monument, our team provides the conservation planning and Heritage Impact Statements required to protect and enhance your investment. We even act as Heritage Skills Ambassadors, helping train the next generation of masons in traditional building techniques.

• Architectural Design: A blend of hand-drawn artistry and digital precision.
• Planning Success: We have a proven track record in National Parks and Areas of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB).
• Interior Design: Our team includes a qualified interior designer to create living spaces that go beyond the structural elements.

At a Glance: Our Expertise

Modern Technology Meets Traditional Craft

While we respect traditional methods, we embrace the future. We use 3D photogrammetry to generate precise spatial data, ensuring that even the most complex structures are mapped with absolute accuracy.

This technical rigour extends to our legal and insurance services. We provide detailed rebuilding cost assessments for insurance—crucial for listed buildings—and offer expert guidance on Party Wall matters and lease liabilities for both landlords and tenants.

"Our mission is to provide a dependable, professional service that respects the past while building for the future."

Whether you are buying a new home and need a structural survey or are planning a complex restoration project, we bring the same level of care and professional integrity to every instruction.
