Williams Conservation Surveying

At Williams Conservation Surveying, we believe that every building tells a story. Whether you are the custodian of a medieval church, the owner of a listed 18th-century windmill, or a developer managing a modern high-rise, we provide the technical expertise required to ensure your property is safe, compliant, and preserved for the future.

Based in Manchester and operating across the UK, our practice is led by Matthew Williams, a conservation-accredited chartered building surveyor. We don't just identify defects; we provide a roadmap for the sensitive management of heritage assets and the rigorous assessment of modern building safety.

"Our mission is to protect heritage significance while meeting contemporary standards, helping our clients navigate complex regulatory landscapes with confidence."

We are well-known for producing detailed condition surveys that go far beyond the surface. Our team provides the deep-dive insights necessary for pre-purchase assessments and long-term maintenance planning. We have successfully delivered:

• Heritage Appraisals: Detailed assessments for Grade II and Grade II* listed properties.
• Consent Applications: Navigating the complexities of Listed Building Consent for repairs and alterations.
• Traditional Methods: Expert guidance on traditional repair techniques to ensure compliance and longevity.

Our recent portfolio includes diverse projects such as the pre-purchase survey of a Grade II listed 18th-century windmill and heritage assessments for 17th-century former barns and early 19th-century villas.
