Portfolio : Conservation of ruins

We have advised many owners on the conservation of ruined ancient monuments and sometimes also on their re-use or partial restoration, and we have acted in grant aided and privately funded schemes of ruin stabilisation, consolidation, access and presentation. Typically these include research, project planning and condition surveys and investigations, obtaining grants and consents, dealing with vegetation and roots, archaeological investigation and clearance of overburden, incorporating unobtrusive structural supports to ensure public safety while maintaining the natural appearance, indenting eroded masonry, providing protection for decorative carved features, repointing using lime-based mortars and specialist conservation of historic timber and plasterwork.
