Period Property Red Flags

Signs of Structural Timber Decay

Our listed building specialists assess whether heritage timber repairs are necessary to stabilise structures if any early deterioration in beams, joists or frames is identified. Leaving these issues unattended can lead to major structural damage.

Cracking or Movement in Walls

In listed building conservation, cracks, bulging masonry, or signs of settlement can suggest underlying structural issues, which must be carefully addressed to address long-term instability whilst maintaining the building’s original fabric.

Distorted Woodwork

Our traditional carpentry methods, such as splice and repair and oak frame construction, can address key concerns such as warped doors, soft timber, or sagging beams, which, when repaired, protect the surrounding materials and prevent further deterioration of your historic property in Lewes.

Ineffective Previous Repairs

Incompatible modern methods, such as fillers, cement patches, or incorrect replacements, can accelerate decay by trapping moisture and generally do not fit period properties. Our traditional restoration and conservation-approved methods can reverse these changes and restore your building’s historical integrity.

Inadequate Space Planning

Period properties often change over time, resulting in awkward layouts that may no longer work well. A thoughtfully planned conservation extension or other conservation construction solutions can enhance liveability while maintaining the original architectural intent.
