Heritage Transfer
Working in a heritage context is very exciting and challenging. Our extensive knowledge in heritage methodology and practice is supported by the latest IR analysis technology. There is no need to live in a damp relic. Live the future in a house of the past.
Heritage Architecture
We help owners of heritage buildings with our extensive knowledge, experience and expertise in heritage methodology and trade practices. To restore a heritage building requires analytic research and creative solutions and every project presents unique challenges. Respecting and protecting the original building does not need to inhibit the comforts of a modern lifestyle. You can live in yesterday's buildings with today's comfort.
Heritage Additions
Heritage conscious additions and new buildings in a heritage context are our specialty. Extending a heritage building can be challenging - this is what we love! The dignity and beauty of the heritage building needs to be respected, yet space is often limited and structurally there may be unique requirements. Here methodology meets creativity to produce innovative living solutions.
Heritage Consultation
If a heritage building has been neglected or previously altered without care, new work may now be required. Owners are often tempted to sell their heritage homes because the prospect of bringing the home up to a comfortable standard seems too overwhelming. A structured and planned approach can save huge amounts of effort and disappointment. We offer hands-on consultations to assist you with your heritage project. No one likes to live in a musty, damp ruin. Don't abandon your lovely heritage house - get started restoring it!
Infra red imaging is especially useful for heritage buildings. Infra red reveals issues that would otherwise be hidden. It enables the owner to find and fix the root cause of a problem and rather than waste effort by covering only the symptoms.
You can see in this IR image of a 1890's limestone cottage that a rising damp problem was revealed that was otherwise invisible. IR can detect minute changes of temperature, and reveals patterns of temperature can be expertly analysed to ascertain the exact cause of certain issues.
