Preserving Character & Creating Comfort in Your Heritage Home

Heritage properties are beautiful and full of charming character. But they often lack the space and modern comfort today’s families need. The problem is that when you modernise, there’s a real risk of losing that character you fell in love with. That’s why we’re passionate about specialising in these wonderful properties. So that all renovations and additions are done sympathetically, enhancing the existing character.

Our Key to a Successful Build

We know that renovating or extending a heritage property can be a significant investment and choosing the right contractor can feel like a big deal to get right. Understanding the character of your property, having the right expertise and solid experience in this niche are all crucial.

But there are also practical elements to consider – from the ability to deliver on time, to ensuring budgets are adhered to and the right specialists are on hand.

That’s why we’ve spent years ensuring these crucial elements are in place. No build is ever without its challenges, but being set up to solve them means everyone’s sane at the end.

"We hired Taylors for a full refurbishment of a neglected period property. Zach communicated clearly, helped us shape a realistic scope within budget, and handled every issue quickly and professionally. Weekly site meetings kept us fully informed, and the team were consistently respectful of the house and our neighbours. The project was completed on time, and the transformation is outstanding. "

"Grade II listed building renovation - this was a complicated project that involved many trades working together in a small space with a tight timescale. The quality of the work was excellent and everyone was professional and kind. I particularly appreciated the advice I received. I was never told about a problem without being offered an immediate solution and I wasn't suddenly overwhelmed by decisions that needed to be made by the next day. I was given a clear price for the work which was set out in a way I could understand and extras were itemised separately. I was really pleased with the work and would highly recommend."

FAQs

We completely understand. Choosing a contractor for a significant renovation or extension is a big decision, and it’s very normal to feel overwhelmed by options. That’s why we’ve created a comprehensive guide that walks you through exactly what to look for – from checking credentials and comparing specifications, to asking the right questions about experience with heritage properties. Read our guide to choosing the right contractor.

Yes – this is something we feel extremely passionate about. How can you trust the process if you don’t know our basic commitment to you? Our service level agreements cover character protection, transparent pricing, communication standards, payment integrity, and project timelines. View our full service guarantees to see exactly what we guarantee on every project.

This is one of the most important questions to ask. When quotes vary significantly, it’s often because specifications differ – one builder might quote for a £10,000 kitchen whilst another assumes £25,000. One might price for 12 downlights whilst another quotes for a single pendant. We’ve created a comprehensive guide to help you compare quotes properly and ask the right questions to each contractor. Read our quote comparison guide.

The feasibility depends on the scale and nature of your project, which we’ll discuss during your site visit. But where the works aren’t major we often work with families living in the property. We plan utility disruptions in advance (you won’t come home to find your boiler disconnected in January), maintain professional site standards, and work to make the process as comfortable as possible.
Changes during the build are common, and we’re set up to handle them. We use Change of Work (COW) forms to document any variations with clear costs, and maintain a running total of the project amount. Our visualisation approach means we think ahead about finishing details whilst there’s still time to adjust – so you’re not locked into decisions made before you could see how rooms would actually take shape.
Project timelines vary based on size and complexity. Larger projects (£350k+) typically run 18-20 weeks. Medium-sized projects (£100k-£250k) are usually shorter. We provide a detailed schedule as part of our quote, with a 2-3 week contingency built in for heritage properties where unexpected issues can arise. We work to contracted timelines and communicate proactively if any adjustments are needed.
