Historic Restoration

It is important to appreciate inappropriate alteration or repair to older buildings can cause damage to their character and construction. There are significant differences between traditional and modern forms of construction and it is important to use appropriate repair techniques. At Team Force we have the traditional skills and experience needed to retain the character and conservation of old and historic buildings.

Older buildings normally have a 'softer' form of construction allowing for greater structural movement and migration of moisture. Problems are likely to occur if maintenance is inadequate or when incompatible modern materials have been introduced. Hard cement mortars, plasters and renders can hinder the evaporation of moisture whereas traditional lime-based mortars allow buildings to breathe.

We understand that older buildings require sensitive restoration and an understanding of their history and constructional form. Our expert team have the experience and craftsmanship to cater for the often demanding needs of older and historic listed buildings.

From initial consultation and expert advice our skilled craftsmen have the knowledge to ensure your restoration, refurbishment or conservation project is carried out to our exacting standards.
