A second opinion on old fabric — before the work begins.
Independent, technical advice for homeowners, architects and contractors working on heritage stone, lime and traditional building fabric. Pricing revealed on enquiry — free within the local region.
Not every project needs us on site. Often what is needed is a clear technical opinion before decisions are made — what the material is, why it is failing, and what an appropriate response looks like.
We offer site visits, written reports, second opinions on failed work, mix advice, and support during the tender or specification stage of heritage projects. Pricing is revealed on enquiry and is highly competitive; attendance is free of charge within the local region.
- A quote has been received and it doesn't feel right.
- Previous work has failed and the cause isn't obvious.

- An architect or homeowner needs a specialist voice at the table.
- Site-based, not office-based, diagnosis.
- Advice grounded in hands-on knowledge of the materials.
- Clear, written recommendations you can act on.
- Willingness to say when a wall doesn't need our services at all.
