Traditional Building Guidance

Understanding your Traditional Property

Buildings constructed before 1919 are generally classified as traditional. They are constructed of materials such as sandstone, with timber sash and case windows, natural slate roof finishes and cast iron and lead details. Expert knowledge is invaluable in ensuring that any repairs or improvements undertaken will be in harmony with the existing building fabric.
