Building restoration services
A building restoration service is any work that returns a property to ‘a known earlier state, on the basis of compelling evidence, without conjecture’ – according to Historic England. There must be compelling evidence for the need for building restoration work. It must respect previous forms of the place, maintain the heritage values of the building, and be sustainable.
Our building restoration services range from replacing a missing wall to reconstructing a roof for a roofless building. Conservation involves preserving existing structural elements, but building restoration is about returning missing parts (though the lines between repair, restoration, and conservation may blur). We can help restore old homes, commercial, and ecclesiastical buildings.
Covered within our building restoration services are:
- Stonemasonry
- Hot lime mortar repointing and rendering
- Brick and stone repairs
- Roofing (including slate, stone, and sheet metal)
- Traditional plastering
- Metalwork (bronze, cast iron, and wrought iron roof lanterns, domes, and windows)
- Joinery (such as timber windows and architectural timberwork)
- Consultation on proposed building restoration works

Residential, commercial, and industrial building restoration in Yorkshire
Book a building restoration service for any size, age, and type of property across Yorkshire. We can help with residential building restoration for private properties such as historic cottages and farmhouses, as well as large estates. Our specialist team sources suitable stones, assess design plans, and offer solutions to help meet your expectations.
Building restoration work for residential properties includes everything from installing feature walls and patterned flooring to slate roofing where it no longer exists. This work helps return domestic buildings to their original beauty and maintain their historic value for cottages, townhouses, farmhouses, detached and terraced homes, and listed buildings.
Age, weather, and neglect can cause old commercial and industrial buildings to fall apart. Commercial and industrial building restoration revives such properties to ensure they continue to be used as initially intended. Our specialist team are experts in commercial and industrial building restoration and can rejuvenate anything from old mills to schoolhouses.
We source appropriate materials, can advise on plans and designs to ensure everything is in line with relevant regulations and restore commercial buildings to their original style. Work includes everything from replacing a collapsed roof to repairing damaged or destroyed flooring for town halls, churches, offices, warehouses, shops, schools, factories, and mills.
