We use a range of traditional construction methods to replicate the original build, ensuring any repairs or replacements blend in seamlessly. Along with these methods, we choose the right materials to match the rest of the property. Where necessary, we source reclaimed or like-for-like materials and products to achieve the perfect finish.
Our listed building services include the following:
While traditional tools are ideal for matching listed building repairs to the existing property, we use them in combination with modern equipment for maximum efficiency and quality.

The work we undertake for customers in Skipton, Ilkley and the surrounding areas includes:
Before starting any repair work, we carefully assess the property and any restrictions or protections included in its listed status. We then carry out sympathetic repairs accordingly and in the best way to maintain the historical character of the building.
In some cases, you must apply for Listed Building Consent from the local planning authority before undertaking work on a listed building. Failure to obtain consent when required is a criminal offence for which individuals can be prosecuted, so always take the time to check.
Many minor listed building repairs can be completed without consent, but more extensive repairs, replacements and alterations will likely need approval. Our building contractors are happy to offer advice.
