About the Practice
Andrew Churchman Ltd, established in 2015 and based in Belper, Derbyshire, is a specialist building and restoration company dedicated to the sympathetic care and repair of old, listed, and historic buildings. The company's mission centers on preserving the architectural integrity and historical significance of these structures by employing traditional materials and craftsmanship. Their approach emphasizes repair over replacement, aiming to retain the subtle and fragile qualities inherent in historic fabric.
The company's core services encompass a wide range of specialized construction activities tailored to historic properties. These include brickwork restoration across various periods, stonemasonry, lime mortar pointing for both brick and stone, lime plastering, external lime rendering, stone and brick repair, and damp remediation solutions that avoid the use of chemical injections. Additionally, they offer limecrete flooring, dry stone or mortared walling, project management, and sympathetic new build projects that harmonize with existing historic environments.
A key aspect of Andrew Churchman Ltd's methodology is the use of lime-based materials in mortars, plasters, and renders. Lime's breathability and flexibility make it an ideal choice for historic buildings, allowing structures to manage moisture effectively and accommodate subtle movements without compromising structural integrity. This expertise in lime applications underscores the company's commitment to using appropriate, time-honored materials that contribute to the longevity and preservation of heritage properties.
Through their dedication to traditional building methods and materials, Andrew Churchman Ltd plays a vital role in the conservation of the UK's architectural heritage. Their meticulous approach ensures that historic buildings are not only maintained but also cherished and appreciated by future generations. By focusing on repair rather than replacement, they uphold the authenticity and historical value of the structures they work on, contributing significantly to the preservation of the nation's cultural legacy.
