Period Building Restoration on Farnham High Street, Surrey

The commercial property owner contacted us to breathe new life into a historic Farnham building that had deteriorated significantly over the years. The structure faced multiple challenges including severe weather damage, failing drainage systems, compromised interiors, and outdated infrastructure that made it unsuitable for contemporary commercial tenants.

The job required a specialist contractor with the expertise to deliver a comprehensive heritage restoration using traditional materials and techniques. Our team executed a full-scale commercial refurbishment featuring sympathetic roof reconstruction with salvaged tiles, traditional lime render applications with mineral coatings, careful masonry refurbishment, and complete interior modernisation.
