Repairs and Alterations for Traditional Buildings

TRS provides professional repair and alteration services for traditionally constructed buildings, helping property owners, landlords and businesses maintain, improve and protect older buildings.

Traditional buildings require a careful and considered approach. They are often built using materials and methods that differ from modern construction, which means repairs and alterations need to be carried out with an understanding of how the building was originally designed to perform.

Our experienced team can assist with a wide range of building repairs, alterations and improvement works, ensuring your property remains safe, practical and sympathetic to its original construction.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a traditionally constructed building?

A traditionally constructed building is usually an older property built using traditional materials and methods, such as stone, brick, lime mortar, timber and solid wall construction. These buildings often need a different approach to repairs than modern properties.

Can you repair older stone or brick buildings?

Yes. TRS can carry out repairs to stonework, brickwork and other traditional building materials. We assess the condition of the property and recommend a suitable repair method based on the building and the issue.

Do traditional buildings need lime mortar?

Many traditional buildings were built using lime mortar rather than modern cement-based mortar. Lime allows the building to breathe and move naturally. Where appropriate, TRS can carry out lime mortar repairs and repointing.

Can you alter an older building without damaging its character?

Yes. Alterations to traditional buildings should be planned carefully. TRS can help adapt a property for modern use while working sensitively with the existing structure and materials.

Do you carry out both internal and external repairs?

Yes. We can assist with both internal and external repairs, including walls, damaged finishes, structural elements, external masonry and general building fabric.

Can you help with damp or water damage in older buildings?

Yes. TRS can investigate and repair areas affected by water damage. With traditional buildings, it is important to understand the cause of the issue before carrying out repairs, as covering over the problem can lead to further damage.

Do you work on commercial and domestic properties?

Yes. TRS can provide traditionally constructed building repair and alteration services for domestic properties, commercial buildings, rental properties and managed properties.

Can you visit the property and advise on the best repair approach?

Yes. TRS can discuss your requirements, assess the condition of the building and advise on a suitable approach for the repair or alteration work required.
