The architects, engineers and builders at Blake Developments boast an extensive knowledge of the requirements of refurbishing and restoring the UK’s Grade I and II listed buildings. We can also assist in applying for the relevant planning positions from the local authorities if our clients are looking to significantly alter or extend a heritage site.
Heritage refurbishments are necessary to preserve the country’s most valuable buildings. Much of our work on listed buildings in Essex, Suffolk and across the whole of the UK requires us to adapt traditional construction techniques to meet the needs of each unique environment; we are also adept at dealing with any exceptional logistical issues that may arise throughout the project.
We specialise in the restoration of all kinds of listed properties, including houses, churches and public buildings and other landmarks of historical and cultural value, such as bridges, monuments and memorials. Our team covers all locations in the UK.
The delicate nature of these types of properties calls for a thorough approach and excellent attention to detail at every stage of the refurbishment or restoration project to ensure all original structural and decorative elements remain intact wherever possible.
Our talented artisans can deliver ornate stone work, robust brick work and listed-grade carpentry. We use a variety of materials to ensure our work meets exacting standards, including lathe and plaster, horse hair plaster, lime mortar and chalk plaster.
