Commercial Heritage Work
As a heritage-approved contractor, we work on listed and period commercial buildings across London, Kent, Essex, Sussex and the South East:
- Listed pubs and inns
- Pubs and inns in conservation areas
- Period shop fronts
- Churches and church halls
- Historic office buildings
- Older school buildings
We can deal with the whole process, from planning permission to listed building consent, and agree the approach with the conservation officer before work starts. We respect the building as it stands, and make sure new work fits its character.
Commercial heritage
Heritage, commercial: drag to see it change
How it works
Survey
We visit the unit, measure up, and ask what you need the space to do and when you need it back.
A price for the job
A schedule of works, priced element by element, in writing.
The build
We manage every trade on the job, sequenced so the noisy and long-lead work lands where it costs you least.
Handover
We finish, clean down and hand back a space that is ready to use, with the paperwork that goes with the work.
Common questions
Q.01Do I need listed building consent?
If the building is listed, almost any change that affects its character needs consent, inside as well as out. We check what applies at survey and agree the approach with the conservation officer.
Q.02Can you work on a listed pub while it is trading?
Often, in part. It depends on what is being touched and where. We look at it at survey and tell you what can stay open.
Q.03What does heritage work cost?
It depends on the building and on what is found once work starts. We survey it first, then price it in writing.
Where we work
We are based in Godstone, Surrey, and we cover the whole of the South East. On the coast we go from Southampton and Portsmouth round to Brighton and Dover, and past London we go out as far as Oxford and Colchester. See the coverage map →
