Property refurbishment and renovation
Challis Construction has an excellent reputation in the renovation of restoration of all types of properties.
Combining decades of building experience, outstanding attention to detail and an impeccable health and safety record, we specialise in the provision of the highest quality refurbishment and renovation solutions.
In particular we are known for our unrivalled expertise in the refurbishment and renovation of traditional, listed and heritage buildings, with a view to maintaining their structural integrity, upholding their charm and preserving their unique features.
If you own a period property or a listed building, you’ll know that its maintenance and upkeep is a somewhat more complicated than most other properties.
The care needed must be specific to its age and sensitively and respectfully managed. There are a number of details that must be considered when renovating and/or restoring a period property or a property in a conservation area.
We have always had a very keen interest in buildings with period features hence we make sure we understand the needs of the area, the council, the property and the homeowner.
Adhering to strict guidelines
There are very strict guidelines and rules when it comes to listed buildings and properties in conservation areas. We will always research your property and ensure that we are aware of the prevailing guidelines and we are forensic in ensuring that these are adhered to.
- Original features must be maintained to protect the value of the property.
- Listed Building Consent and Householder Planning Consent must be adhered to.
- The design of any extensions or improvements must be sympathetic to the area.
- Windows should be identical to the original installations.
- Damp and rot are important to consider, simply because of the age of the properties.
- Roofing, piping and drainage must retain original features. • Insulation and draught proofing are more complicated due to restrictions.
