Northern Ireland

Heritage advice across Northern Ireland.

Basalt, rubble stone and lime-rendered vernacular, with listed building consent through local councils and the Historic Environment Division.

We advise owners, architects and contractors throughout Northern Ireland — from first thoughts about a project, through pre-application discussions with the conservation officer, to the specification of repairs on site. Work is carried out remotely and on site, with a free 30-minute video consultation to begin.

Early engagement is where money is saved. A refusal, a redesign or a remedial contract after the wrong materials have gone in typically costs far more than getting the advice in place before the first drawing is issued.
