When an existing oak frame needs to be repaired, we prepare detailed listed building repair schedules and drawings to meet these needs and satisfy listed building requirements. As part of this process, we carefully assess the current condition of the structure to inform the scope of works.
This assessment forms the foundation of a clear and comprehensive schedule of repair, ensuring that all proposed works align with conservation guidelines and the historic significance of the property.
A barn conversion is a typical example where we would initially visit the property to assess the condition of the existing timber frame on site. As a result of this inspection, a detailed repair schedule is prepared, including drawings of the frame elevations, laid out in a logical way so that the conservation officer and client can clearly see which timbers need to be repaired or replaced. This thorough assessment at an early stage ensures that no key features of the structure are overlooked and that each necessary repair is carefully justified in line with conservation requirements.
At times, works to historic buildings will occasionally require a historic building report to highlight the important architectural and historic elements of the structure, including its development and previous alterations. We have experience at producing historic building reports with our specialist focus on the timber framed element of the building.
Alongside these reports, we prepare detailed listed building repair schedules that provide a clear framework for addressing structural issues and conserving historic features. This considered approach ensures that repairs are carried out with full respect for the building’s history, while meeting modern standards without disrupting its original character.
1. Initial Site Visit
We begin with a detailed inspection of the property, recording its condition and identifying areas that require repair or further investigation.
2. Assessment & Documentation
Measurements, notes, and frame elevations are prepared to produce an accurate record of the building and its key features.
3. Repair Schedule
A clear schedule is drawn up, outlining which elements need attention and presenting this in a way that both clients and conservation officers can easily follow.
4. Historic Reports
Where required, we produce historic building reports that highlight architectural development, alterations, and heritage value.
5. Guidance & Support
We ensure the proposed scope of repairs are fully explained, providing clarity for clients and helping projects progress smoothly through approval stages.
Why is a listed building repair schedule important?
A repair schedule provides a clear and structured plan for addressing defects while ensuring that all proposed works align with conservation requirements and respect the historic fabric of the building.
Do you only work with timber-framed buildings?
While our specialist focus is on timber-framed structures, we have experience in listed building schedules across a wide range of historic properties.
