In this post, we take a look at a recent project in which we carried out some chimney repairs on a beautiful listed building in a conservation area in Cambridgeshire.

The chimneys had suffered from weathering and decay, and needed some urgent attention to prevent further damage and ensure safety. As the building is listed and located in a conservation area, we had to work closely with the local planning authority and heritage experts to ensure that our repairs were in keeping with the original character and style of the building.

We used traditional materials and techniques, such as lime mortar, handmade bricks, and lead flashing, to repair the chimneys and restore their appearance.  The result is a set of chimneys that look as good as new, but also blend seamlessly with the historic fabric of the building.

It was a pleasure to work on such a stunning property and to contribute to its preservation for future generations. If you have a similar project in mind, or if you need any advice on building or restoring listed buildings or properties in conservation areas, please do not hesitate to contact us.

TDJ Construction carried out a recent project in which we made some internal alterations on a building in a conservation area. This was a challenging but rewarding project, as we had to work within the strict guidelines, while also meeting the needs and expectations of our customer.

The customer wanted to modernise the interior, but also preserve the character and charm of the original features. The project involved adding some new doors as well installing lighting, to create a more open and spacious layout. We are very pleased with the outcome of this project, as we managed to create a comfortable and contemporary living space, while also respecting and enhancing the heritage of the building. The customer was delighted with the result.

TDJ Construction not only specializes in building and renovation projects, but we also have a great deal of experience working on listed buildings and in conservation areas. We have recently completed a challenging project in Market Harborough, Leicestershire, where we had to remove a balcony from a listed building that was also in a conservation area.

We used scaffolding and carefully dismantled it piece by piece, making sure not to damage the brickwork or the windows below. We then repaired and repointed the wall where the balcony was attached, using matching bricks and mortar.

The result was a stunning transformation of the building’s facade; the owner of the building was very pleased with our work. We are proud to have completed this project successfully, once again demonstrating our skills and expertise in working with listed buildings and conservation areas.
