CASE STUDIES

Owlsworth IJP is a company that has a unique understanding and appreciation of traditional properties, building techniques and materials.

With years of experience in the sympathetic and careful repair of properties, Owlsworth IJP has developed a reputation as one of the leading specialist contractors within the conservation sector.

Working on projects both large and small, Owlsworth IJP can provide a carefully balanced combination of traditional skills, professionalism and quality craftsmanship to help maintain our nation’s heritage.

Owslworth IJP stands apart from other contractors. We employ our own highly skilled team of craftsmen capable of providing a host of traditional craft skills, using techniques passed down the generations. These skills include carpentry, joinery, plastering, bricklaying, stonemasonry, blacksmithing and millwrighting, and will ensure that your project is undertaken in a totally faithful and sympathetic manner to maintain your building’s integrity and character.

In addition, we provide a dedicated Project Manager or Director for every project, backed with a conservation consultancy service and in-house architectural service to provide a comprehensive package from commencement to completion.

Owlsworth IJP'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.

Owslworth IJP 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 Owslworth 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.
