Historic buildings and structures

Historic buildings are known for exceptional architecture and intricate designs, but can prove difficult for clients to repair if small issues are ignored over time. At Crown, we have a long history of restoring historic buildings back to their initial brilliance, ranging from our Stonemasons renewing elaborate sections of carved stone to replacing large quantities of slipped or missing roof tiles on churches and cathedrals.

Grade Listed Building

Working on grade listed buildings means that conservation standards have to be met when gaining access to high levels and carrying out specialist repairs. At Crown we work with conservation specialists to ensure that the unique complexities of each listed building can be understood, and a solution can be devised to access the hard to reach areas.

Churches

We are expert steeplejacks and rope access technicians who offer condition surveys, maintenance, and repairs to Churches Nationwide.
