Court Design & Conservation

At Court Design & Conservation, we specialise in providing expert services for the renovation, conservation, and design of historic buildings. Our team, led by Chartered Building Surveyor Andrew Hayes, has years of experience in working with period, listed, or historic buildings, and we understand the unique challenges and opportunities that come with these unique structures.

Our Philosophy

Our philosophy is simple: good design, good use of space, and integration with the surroundings, whether through traditional or contemporary features. We believe that historic buildings deserve a sympathetic approach that respects their original character while also adapting them to meet the needs of modern living. Our goal is to provide our clients with expert guidance and support throughout the entire process, from initial consultation to final completion.
