About Our Heritage Services
At Waverley Bespoke Builders, we understand that renovating and refurbishing heritage properties requires a unique set of skills and considerations. We have a wealth of experience in breathing new life into old properties, while maintaining their character and charm.
One of the biggest challenges in renovating heritage properties is ensuring that any changes made are sympathetic to the original building. We work closely with our clients to understand their vision, and then use our expertise to make sure that any changes made are in keeping with the property’s original style and character.
We are also committed to using sustainable and eco-friendly materials wherever possible, to minimise the environmental impact of our work. We understand that heritage properties are often more delicate and require more care than newer buildings, so we take extra care to make sure that our work is carried out in a way that is considerate and respectful to the property.
When working on heritage properties, we understand the importance of obtaining the necessary permissions and approvals from local authorities. We work closely with our clients to navigate the planning process, ensuring that all requirements are met and the necessary permissions are obtained.
We pride ourselves on offering a truly bespoke service, tailored to the individual needs and requirements of each client. We understand that every property is unique and requires a unique approach to achieve the desired outcome.
Working on heritage properties can present additional challenges, such as restricted access and limited space, but our team of highly skilled craftsmen are experienced in working around these obstacles to ensure that the project is completed to the highest standard, within budget and on time.
At Waverley Bespoke Builders, we are committed to minimal disruption and making sure that the project is completed as smoothly and efficiently as possible. We understand that renovating a heritage property can be a complex and daunting task, but our team are on hand to provide expert advice and guidance every step of the way.
