House Remodelling and Extensions
Industrial, Commercial and RetailThe Practice has a wealth of experience working with Listed Buildings as well as other buildings and grounds of a conservation nature.
The Practice is pleased to note that several projects have been undertaken in partnership with English Heritage, and that it is currently seeking final accreditation under the Architect's Accredited in Building Conservation.
2005
The scope of the recent works included the re-leading of the parapet gutters, extensive stone repair and replacement to the Internal and external face, some of which included bespoke, carved stonework to replace lost or damaged stones.
The works also included some external ground works to improve the overall drainage performance of the site.
Lych Gate, The Abbey Church of St Mary, Manor Court Road, Nuneaton
2004
The Lych Gate of Manor Court Road provides the setting for entering into the grounds of The Abbey Ruins, which was the origin of the name Nuneaton, 'Nuns of Eaton'.
The Lych Gate of traditional oak frame with cedar singles had deteriorated to the point where major restoration was required.
Carefully each rotten timber was replaced with oak, new gates replicating the originals were provided, and the shingle roof restored. An example of quality craftsmanship.
St Mary Magdalene Church, Coventry
[Ongoing]
Believed to be the oldest surviving Church in the Coventry Diocese, over 1000 years old, has required sensitive and careful conservation of its local grey sandstone walls and tiled roofs.
An ongoing programme of restoration will ensure it services for a long time to come. The Practise is privileged to serve the Church to ensure that it is in an excellent state of conservation.
St. John the Baptist Church, Westwood, Coventry
2001
St. John's Church has been restored to redress the savage effects of eroding soft sandstone.
Craftsmen rebuilt the outer skin of stone to the main west gable wall and repaired other eroded details to windows, buttresses, label stones and hood moulds.
Decayed plaster was restored internally and precious windows were protected.
St Edith's Church, Monks Kirby, Warwickshire
2001
So many of our lovely churches require constant maintenance and none less than St. Edith's.
A new sand cast lead roof to the Nave, Chancel, and South Aisle has been completed with help from Heritage Lottery and Trinity Church, Cambridge.
Detailing of the roof was improved to ensure it lasts for many years to come. Historic stained glass windows are being conserved using skills of a specialist glass studies.
Leadwork was designed to meet the requirements of the Lead Sheet Association. Restoration of soft red sandstone now waits funding.

- St. John's Church, Baginton, Warwickshire
