Preserving with Precision: Surveys, Costings, and Collaborative Heritage Building Care
At Elevated Heritage Services, we understand that maintaining period and listed buildings requires a comprehensive and collaborative approach. Our commitment to preserving these architectural treasures extends beyond individual services. We offer detailed surveys, accurate costings, and expert liaison with other specialists to ensure your project is completed with the utmost care and precision.
The Importance of Thorough Surveys
- Roofline: Gutters, fascias, soffits, and chimneys are inspected for signs of damage, wear, and potential risks.
- Exterior Walls: We assess the condition of brickwork, stonework, render, and pointing, identifying any areas of concern.
- Windows and Doors: Period windows and doors are inspected for their condition, functionality, and necessary repairs or restoration.
- Drainage Systems: We evaluate the effectiveness of rainwater goods, including gutters, downpipes, and drainage, to identify potential damp issues.
Accurate Costings and Transparent Communication
Following a comprehensive survey, we provide detailed costings for the necessary repairs or maintenance work. Our transparent approach ensures you have a clear understanding of the project’s scope and associated costs. We believe in open communication and work closely with you to develop a plan that meets your needs and budget.
