FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about listed building work, planning permissions, and heritage conservation.

If your property is listed, you will likely need listed building consent for any works that affect its character as a building of special architectural or historic interest. We can advise on what requires consent and handle the application process for you.

Timescales vary significantly depending on the scope of work and the level of heritage sensitivity involved. A modest residential renovation might take 3–6 months, while a major listed building restoration could take 12–18 months or more. We provide detailed programme schedules during the planning phase.

Conservation areas have additional planning controls that limit permitted development rights. This means works that would normally not require planning permission—such as certain extensions or changes to external appearance—may require formal approval. We're experienced in navigating these requirements.

We use lime mortars, lime plasters, natural stone, traditional timber species, hand-made bricks, natural slates, and lead sheet—all sourced from approved heritage suppliers. We match materials to the period and style of each building.
