Heritage and listed buildings — sympathetic, certified, trusted.

Our team is currently working on a Grade I listed property associated with Beatrix Potter, alongside a regular roster of Grade II listed and conservation-area work. We’ve spent decades building a workforce that handles heritage as well as it handles modern — slate, lead, lime, traditional joinery, sympathetic plaster.

Why DLP

Why heritage organisations choose us.

01

The trades are in-house

Heritage work requires specialist roofers, joiners, plasterers, bricklayers, and decorators. We employ them directly. No subcontracting chains, no “we know a guy.”

02

Conservation-trained

Our heritage trades know lime from gypsum, traditional bonds from modern, breathable paints from emulsion.

03

Listed Building Consent compliant

We work within the rules. Documentation, sympathetic specifications, and conservation-officer-friendly delivery.

04

Trusted by national heritage organisations

An endorsement we wear quietly — but it matters.

05

Multi-trade in-house

One leaking roof can need a roofer, a joiner, a plasterer, and a decorator before it’s finished. We have all of them.

What we deliver

Heritage work across every trade.

  • Listed building maintenance — Grade I and II
