Take Ruthin Clock Tower, Wales for example — a complex restoration project that brought together a wide range of skills. We designed and installed a full scaffold wrap to protect the structure during the works, carefully cleaned decades of grime from the stonework, repointed using lime mortar, and regilded the decorative finial to restore its original brilliance. The clock itself was also repaired and reinstated — not just as a functional timepiece, but as a focal point of civic identity. Alongside the physical conservation, we attended several public events, gave talks, and took questions about our work — reinforcing the increasingly important role of social value in heritage projects.
Or consider our Grade II listed timber-framed house in Cheshire, where trapped moisture and failing cementitious render posed long-term risks to a centuries-old structure. Our team identified the underlying issues, removed inappropriate materials, and reinstated breathable, traditional finishes — all while ensuring the building remained in use.
And at Pentre Mawr House in Abergele, Wales where layers of paint and unsuitable coatings had masked the true character of the stone. We undertook careful cleaning, repointing, and limewashing — but crucially, we also carried out a full refurbishment of the roof. This included timber repairs, installation of breathable underlay, and the relaying of traditional Welsh slate — ensuring the building was not only weather-tight but historically authentic from top to bottom.
A multidisciplinary approach isn’t a buzzword for us — it’s a necessity. It’s shaped by over forty years of working on site, tackling complex issues, and collaborating with conservation specialists across Wales and the North West.
