Listed Building Services

Listed building repairs, restoration, and maintenance present extra challenges compared to regular renovation work due to their age and heritage status. At Validus Construction we’re passionate about preserving historic properties across York and the wider Yorkshire region with care and precision. This includes homes, cottages, churches, and commercial listed buildings.

Listed building repairs and restoration services

Damage, decay, and deterioration affect all properties as they age. We use hot lime mortar and other traditional building materials and techniques to return heritage properties to their original condition and style and protect against further deterioration. Our heritage building consultants advise about any consent or regulation requirements to ensure all work is compliant too.

Heritage building consultants and listed consent

he Planning (Listed Buildings and Conservation Areas) Act 1990 regulates the condition of listed buildings across the UK. Any alterations or extensions to a listed building that may affect its character or appearance must have listed building consent from your local planning authority. This could include your listed building repairs.

At Validus Construction our expert heritage building consultants can advise on whether listed building consent is required for your desired work. Enjoy peace of mind that all repairs are made legally with all relevant paperwork as proof. This protects you, the listed building, and its heritage value.

Unauthorised work on a listed building is a criminal offence and individuals can be prosecuted. Any work carried out without listed building consent may be reversed, which wastes money and time. Building owners can also struggle to sell listed buildings where unauthorised changes were made. Speak to our heritage building consultants first.
