Blending traditional craftsmanship with modern standards
Heritage
Restoring and conserving listed, heritage, and historic buildings present unique challenges that require a careful and considered approach, as well as deep respect for their integrity. Oakland Construction specialises in all aspects of heritage construction and restoration work, offering comprehensive packages that include alterations and refurbishment.
For every heritage project we undertake, we approach it with a bespoke offering that respects the building's history and its specific architectural or period details. As main contractors, we have a team of skilled tradespeople who bring expertise, craftsmanship, and attention to detail to every project.
Heritage
Traditional techniques
Whatever your heritage project calls for, we have experience and expertise in specialist, craft-based trades, including lime plastering, lead roofing, lime washing, masonry stonework and repairs, natural slate roofing, plaster cornice, intricate replica joinery to match originals, and repairs to sash windows.
Our work in this sector also often involves bringing in locally sourced natural materials like stone, wood, and iron. These can help sensitively balance a building’s authenticity and integrity with new uses and alterations that can extend its life.
A commitment to quality
Having successfully worked on historic Grade 1 and 2 listed properties in Cheltenham, Chippenham, Bath, and Bristol, our team is dedicated to preserving the character and history of heritage buildings while ensuring they meet modern standards and requirements.
Our expertise in using traditional techniques and materials, combined with a commitment to quality craftsmanship, ensures that every project we undertake upholds the architectural significance and integrity of the original structure.
By doing so, Oakland is trusted to help preserve these buildings’ cultural heritage, allowing them to be enjoyed by future generations while serving contemporary needs.
