Listed Buildings & Heritage Projects
At DJJ Projects, we are passionate about preserving & restoring heritage properties while enhancing their functionality for modern living
Whether it’s a historic home, a listed building, or a period property, our team has the expertise to carry out sensitive restorations & renovations that respect the character & original craftsmanship of the structure.
Planning overview
Planning Permission
Heritage properties often require listed building consent or planning approval from local authorities before any modifications can be made. We guide you through the application process to ensure compliance
Building Regulations Compliance
While modern updates are often necessary, they must align with heritage conservation laws. We work within these guidelines to ensure safety, sustainability, and authenticity
Materials & Construction Methods
The use of traditional building materials and techniques is often required to maintain the historical accuracy of the structure. We source high-quality, period-appropriate materials
Structural Reinforcement
Many older buildings require structural assessments and reinforcement to ensure longevity without altering the original character
Energy Efficiency & Sustainability
We integrate modern energy-efficient solutions, such as improved insulation and discreet heating systems, while maintaining the building’s historical aesthetic
Working with Conservation Officers
We liaise with heritage and conservation officers to ensure all work meets necessary legal and historical requirements
Preserving Architectural Features
Original detailing, such as stonework, timber beams, and sash windows, is carefully restored rather than replaced to maintain authenticity
Our heritage projects are carried out with the utmost care & respect, blending traditional craftsmanship with modern techniques to preserve the character of historic buildings. With years of experience working under strict building control & conservation guidelines, we approach each project with a sympathetic style that honours the original architecture. From structural work to intricate detailing, we take pride in restoring & enhancing these unique properties. The photos highlight just a few examples of our heritage work — each one reflecting our commitment to quality & preservation
