Do you own a listed building in the wider Eastbourne area? Is it in need of repairs? You may consider calling on a cheap and cheerful building company for the repair work, but do you realise the consequences of choosing an inexperienced local builder? On this page, we will be exploring the benefits of choosing a specialist builder for listed building repairs. JH Builders was established in 1978 and has been providing a wide selection of building services for clients across Sussex for more than forty-five years. Whether you are looking for barn conversions or home extensions, please do not hesitate to contact us today to find out more.
Our options include:
Did you know that any repair work on a listed building must be compliant with the expectations of the local council? You must obtain listed building consent when repairing your home or business, otherwise, the consequences could be severe. The penalties for unlawful historic building repairs include an unlimited fine and up to two years in prison.
While it can be tempting to undertake the work yourself, an experienced listed building repair specialist is the sensible choice for any work on a heritage building. It is also worth noting that projects such as home extensions, barn conversions and other property renovations are extremely unlikely to gain listed building consent.
While the builder you choose to repair your home may deliver repairs that meet the regulations, there is no guarantee that the repairs will be of the highest quality. With our building company, you can depend on both expertise and quality workmanship, as we have been operating in the Eastbourne area for close to fifty years.
All our work, including home renovations, barn renovations and property extensions, is finished to an impressive standard. Give us a call today to find out more about our options in the local area.
One of the main mistakes that renovators make when working on listed buildings is using modern materials to replace traditional materials. For example, you must use lime plaster to repair older homes, as more modern plaster is less breathable and could cause damp problems.
At JH Builders, we offer a comprehensive service for clients in Eastbourne and the surrounding areas. Please contact us today to learn more about our building company’s services, including property renovations, home extensions, barn conversions, listed building repairs and much more.
