Historic & Listed Buildings Archives

Our engineers have a wealth of experience in helping to preserve structures of historic significance, including those with Listed status, ensuring they remain safe, functional and compliant with modern standards.

We take a respectful approach, balancing preservation with safety and functionality. This involves assessing the building’s structural condition, designing sensitive solutions that minimise visual impact, and advising on appropriate materials and techniques.

Our engineers are also experienced in ensuring compliance with heritage regulations, while collaborating closely with architects, conservation officers, and heritage consultants. Our focus remains on long-term stability and sustainability, ensuring the building can be safely used and maintained without compromising its historic character.
