Traditional Carpentry and Conservation Construction in Brighton | Why We Choose Authentic Materials

At Green Heritage and Conservation Specialists, our experienced listed building specialists recognise that materials are crucial when working on a historic home. Every element of a period property in Brighton, from structural timber to decorative finishes, requires careful selection of materials to preserve its heritage value with sympathetic refurbishments and ensure compliance with listed building regulations. Whether carrying out heritage timber repairs, listed building conservation, traditional carpentry, or conservation construction, we use materials that complement the original fabric.

Why Our Material Choice Matters for Listed Buildings

Our period property specialists understand that choosing the right materials is essential to preserving the character of period buildings during conservation construction. As listed building specialists, we know that traditional materials age and behave differently from modern materials, which is why modern substitutes can do more harm than good when trying to replicate the look and feel of a traditional building. From heritage timber repairs and beam restoration to traditional carpentry and handcrafted beams, we take extra care to ensure the property's original fabric is considered at every step.

When carrying out listed building conservation and sympathetic refurbishment, we survey the existing property to identify breathable, flexible, and natural materials that ensure the structure performs as intended while meeting modern safety standards. Traditional refurbishment and conservation that work similarly require authentic products, including lime, traditional oak carpentry, and heritage-grade finishes that allow the building to breathe and settle without causing damage.
