Empty houses deteriorate faster than occupied ones, and significant houses deteriorate expensively. We hold them — heating, ventilation, planting, fabric — until the right owner arrives.
Where the original architect is still practising, we bring them in for anything structural.

How it works
Inpractice
Three commitments. They are the same on every instruction, and we put them in writing.
- 01
Original architect first
Any fabric work goes to the person who drew it, wherever that is possible.
- 02
Quarterly condition report
Photographed, measured and filed. You get it whether anything has changed or not.
- 03
Seasonal regime
Heating and ventilation run to a schedule set by the building, not the calendar.
“They told us what was wrong with the house before they told us what it cost. Nobody had ever done that.”
