The successful conservation of historic buildings is dependent on a knowledge of the original construction technologies and traditional methods of construction. Modern buildings methods, where used inappropriately, can damage historic fabric.

The practice has gained an enviable reputation in the sector of historic building work, enhanced by a genuine interest in the conservation of our built heritage.

This sensitive field requires consultation with conservation bodies and related controls, and an empathy with skilled craftsmen. Conservation work requires special permissions for listed and other protected buildings. MSA has considerable experience in providing a solution meeting the needs of the project on all levels.
