Heritage Building Restoration and Conservation Specialists
Conserve
Conservation in Action
Longnor Heritage, is a company that deals with more than just restoring historic buildings: it is also dedicated to preserving the character of those buildings through the careful preservation of all elements, both physical and cultural. Each beam, piece of masonry, and irregular feature has its own story, and we believe that we are responsible for maintaining their integrity. Our goal is to replace with as little removal of existing construction.
Longnor Heritage offers hands-on, practical solutions to historic restoration without resorting to excessive removal of construction, through the careful execution of conservation work following traditional techniques and using appropriate materials to maintain the integrity of the structure.
In summary, Longnor Heritage provides for the preservation of buildings in a manner that protects their physical integrity (weatherproofing, structural support, and functional performance) while retaining their cultural identity.
Violet's Barn,
Shropshire
This project set the conservation standard for the Griswold Estate. We stabilised structural movement and masonry decay before performing sensitive repairs with traditional, compatible materials. By retaining original openings, brickwork, and timber, we preserved the building’s character while restoring it for long term use.
Wild Rose House, Wolverhampton
This high-specification residence required balancing modern comfort with the protection of historic fabric. We managed structural alterations and internal upgrades by safeguarding existing features, controlling moisture risks, and detailing junctions to prevent future deterioration.
All Saints,
Nether Spiney
Conservation efforts focused on repairing weathered masonry and eliminating water ingress to improve the building’s resilience. By using breathable materials and stabilising vulnerable areas, we ensured the church remains structurally sound and weather-tight for continued use
