IJP Building Conservation Ltd’s vast experience has enabled us to build up an extensive knowledge of historic buildings and mills, and of the materials they would originally have been built with.The materials our craftsmen work with include timber, lime mortars, renders and plasters, bricks, stone and iron.

To maintain an environmentally acceptable harmony between each building and its surroundings, all products are acquired from renewable sources where possible. Coupled with our ability to accurately and confidently assess the requirements of each project, you can be sure that we will help to ensure every building is given the best possible chance to survive for future generations to enjoy.

IJP Building Conservation Ltd has its own workshop facilities. Home to an unrivalled mixture of traditional skills, it is the pure essence of what makes us different from other contractors.

The workshops provide the ability for IJP to lovingly restore or faithfully recreate components in wood, plaster, metal and stone to ensure they blend seamlessly into every project.

Coupled with this, our team of skilled craftsmen ensure that all components are manufactured to the highest standard without sacrificing traditional values.The workshops also enable components to be manufactured off site, bringing both efficiency and controlled quality of workmanship.
