It is possible to modernise a Grade II listed property — but you must play by the rules. These buildings are listed for a reason: they hold special historic or architectural interest that must be carefully preserved. Strict regulations govern what you can and cannot do to a listed building, both internally and externally.
All the tradespeople we hire take great pride in their work and genuinely value the craft of restoring older buildings to their original character, while ensuring full compliance with modern building regulations. Every heritage project presents the same challenge: how to adapt historic and culturally significant buildings for 21st-century use without compromising their unique value. We understand that managing these assets requires both technical expertise and thoughtful sensitivity. Our advisors help clients make informed decisions—restoring, enhancing, and reimagining heritage buildings and their surroundings for today and for future generations. To preserve the past, heritage assets must also adapt to society’s evolving needs and remain financially sustainable. We work across both the public and private sectors to restore and repurpose historic buildings, integrate modern building services and digital technologies, and protect important archaeological sites.
