1830s Warehouse conservation work

Conservation work is a sustainable practice repairing and reusing existing buildings. Further, for any new work we will be specifying local or UK materials and resource where possible, sustainable products where possible. Repairs are conservative and only were deemed essential. We avoid the use of single use products such as single use plastics and minimise waste, but where we have waste ensure it is responsibly managed and recycled. We will consider SMGs sustainability policy and implement where possible. *Description of Goods/Services:
