Bath's listed stock deserves more than cement repointing and wrong-slime renders. We restore Georgian and Victorian properties with the materials the buildings were built from — Bath stone from traditional sources, NHL lime mortars, sympathetic sash repairs — and we handle the conservation officer, the listed-building consent and the heritage paperwork as part of the contract. Stone conservation in Bath is the heart of what we do.

Radstock's streets of terraced miners' cottages and Victorian housing were built for the Somerset coalfield workforce — a history the town now preserves at Radstock Museum, housed in the old Market Hall — and the town has spent the decades since reinventing itself without losing that solid, no-nonsense housing stock. Owners here want the same thing we hear across the Somer Valley: genuine build quality and honest pricing, without a Bath postcode premium attached. Former mine-shaft records are a real consideration on some sites, and we survey for them as standard before any groundwork begins. From kitchen and bathroom refurbishments to full structural renovations, we apply the same rigorous project management regardless of project size — and that honest, fixed-price refurbishment work is exactly what Radstock owners ask us for.

Problems we fix

When Radstock homeowners call us about heritage project

If any of these sound like your property, this is the service you want.

  • Cement mortar on a listed wall — traps moisture and spalls the stone; lime only

  • Sandblasting Bath stone — destroys the weathered surface permanently

  • Wrong stone matched badly — we source matched Bath stone from traditional quarries

  • No listed-building consent — we prepare and manage the applications

  • Generic renders on Georgian façades — breathable lime renders and limewash

  • Conservation officers treated as enemies — we brief them early and properly
