Services » Heritage Building Conservation
The Wessex Conservation Company, established in 2009 by George Hannon and later joined by partner Will Stevens in 2016, is dedicated to the sympathetic repair and restoration of historic buildings across Somerset, North Devon, and the South West of England. Their mission is to safeguard architectural heritage for future generations, ensuring that historic structures retain their original charm and integrity. Specializing in a comprehensive range of services, they offer rendering, pointing, and interior plastering using traditional horse-haired mortars and lime skims, as well as modern insulating lime renders and plasters. Their expertise extends to carpentry and bespoke joinery, encompassing everything from replacing large sections of oak to detailed fretwork, ensuring that timber elements complement the historic nature of the buildings. Their proficiency in roofing and leadwork allows them to undertake projects ranging from entire roof replacements to sourcing matching slates for repairs. They collaborate closely with local reclamation yards to ensure that any replacements are as close a match as possible, maintaining the aesthetic and historical accuracy of the structures. In addition to structural repairs, the company offers stone conservation, including lime mortar stone repairs, random stone walling, and stone carving. They also provide timber window repairs, utilizing the Window Care System—a cost-effective and durable alternative to replacing traditional wood windows—allowing for in-situ repairs that retain as much of the existing window as possible. Accredited by the Guild of Master Craftsmen, the Wessex Conservation Company adheres to a strict code of practice, ensuring the highest quality of workmanship at reasonable prices. Their commitment to excellence and passion for building conservation make them a trusted choice for building conservation professionals, homeowners, and enthusiasts seeking to preserve the historical integrity of their properties.
