Our Heritage Engineering Services
We offer a wide range of heritage engineering services designed to cater to both small and large projects:
Historic Building Surveys and Assessments
Before any work begins, a thorough survey of your building is essential. Our engineers conduct comprehensive building assessments to identify structural issues, assess the condition of materials, and evaluate any potential risks. This survey helps in planning the right course of action for restoration or repair.
Structural Repairs and Reinforcements
Over time, historic buildings face structural issues like settling, cracks, and material degradation. We specialise in structural repairs, including the reinforcement of foundations, walls, and roofs. Our team ensures that the integrity of your building is restored without compromising its historical value.
Restoration and Conservation of Historic Features
From decorative elements to key architectural features, we provide expert restoration services. Whether it's intricate stonework, wooden beams, or stained glass windows, our specialists work meticulously to restore these features, ensuring they retain their historical authenticity.
Heritage Building Adaptations
While preserving history, it is often necessary to adapt heritage buildings to modern-day use. We offer adaptive reuse services, ensuring that your building meets current safety standards while keeping its historical charm intact. This includes modernising facilities without altering the core heritage of the structure.

Our project managers are experts in handling heritage projects from start to finish. We offer comprehensive consultation, providing you with the best engineering solutions for your heritage building, as well as managing the entire restoration process to ensure deadlines and budgets are met.
